In the glass

It says rose on the label, but it's a white wine made like a red, smelling of roses and grapefruit. The liver on the label is a pun - the name sounds like 'cirrhosis' in French.

Despite the name, this is an orange wine: Gewurztraminer and Pinot Gris left on their skins, part of it for eight months, then aged in hundred-year-old oak barrels. The Pinot Gris gives a blush of pink and the Gewurztraminer the perfume. Roses and grapefruit on the nose and palate, ripe white fruit underneath, fresh rather than heavy. The name is a pun on the French for cirrhosis, hence the liver on the label.
