Nose of orange peel, candied orange, a little something herbal, rhubarb? Sweet, but not too sweet palate, herbal, winey, and earthy, much like a sweet vermouth.

Pleasant herbal cola orange flavor. Good with an orange slice split 50/50 with tonic or prosecco over ice.
Sweet bitter orange aperitif, like Aperol but less sweet and neon color. Excellent for cocktails.
