Amber Valley Amber Wine Blend (6 Bottles) Wessington, Derbyshire, England

£130.00
by Wines by Cellars

UK MAINLAND SHIPPING INCLUDED

Inspired by the ancient winemaking traditions from the Georgian region, we seized the chance to create an extraordinary wine style, now fashionably known as "orange wine." The original name for which is "Amber Wine." Amber Wine from Amber Valley! We could say its the Amber nectar but some brewery or another might get upset.

A luminous golden-amber hue greets the eye, radiating the rustic elegance of this handcrafted gem from the Amber Valley.On the nose, a symphony of aromas unfolds: ripe apricot and zesty tangerine are complemented by a whisper of vanilla and a delicate hint of cedar, offering an inviting bouquet that teases the senses. The palate delivers an adventurous medley of flavors. Bright citrus zest mingles with succulent apricot and lush tropical pineapple, harmonized by a textured, tannic grip that adds depth and structure. A subtle Fino-like oxidative note enhances its complexity, making this a wine of remarkable character and intrigue.

With its 11% alcohol content and a style rooted in tradition yet full of modern allure, Amber Wine is perfect for the discerning wine lover seeking something distinctive. Each sip is a celebration of craftsmanship, a nod to the rich heritage of amber wines, and a proud reflection of the Amber Valley.
