On the palate, there are complex flavors that include bark, roots, cola, dried herbs, cinnamon, caramel, burnt orange and orange peel with a mild and pleasant bitterness balancing the light sweetness. The finish is clean and pleasant.

This sweet vermouth is halfway to amaro territory, offering lovely brown spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, clove) along with medicinal and menthol notes, cherry candy, orange and sage. There is a pleasant but notable bitterness, reminiscent of a light, sweet amaro. You'll find this nice for sipping or enjoying in cocktails that need a bit of bitterness.

From the Producer:  14 different herbs and spices are sourced all around the world to make Noilly Prat Extra Dry. Among them Chamomile, Coriander from Morocco, Bitter Oranges from Tunisia or Orris Root from Italy.

Tangerine, orange oil and savory notes greet you, following with with baked and spiced apples, cantaloupe melon, Mandarin orange and light florality. Toasted walnut and clove flavors provide complexity in this medium weight wine which is overall, clean, bright, and zippy finishing with an herbal touch. 

This skin-contact Pinot Grigio is the color of a rosé and tastes somewhere between an orange wine and a dry rosé. It is clean and fresh with lively scents of strawberry, rose and apple. The palate is medium to full-bodied with more strawberry, along with nectarine, red currants, cherry and peach notes. It is at the same time creamy and juicy with slight salinity and tannin providing a framework to the wine. A very interesting and captivating wine.
