750 ml orange waxed green bottle, vintage 2023, from Vinmonopolet, Nettbutikken. ABV is 8.5. Clear and very pale golden colour, a slight carbonation. Aroma of apples, pears and white grapes. Dry flavour, with the same elements. The grape skins dominate. In a blind test I might mistake this one for a white / orange wine.
