Gloriously raw, the Roxanich Lara 1/6 is an intense, full bodied dry wine, which is nicely balanced by fresh acidity. Aromas are complemented by rich and intense flavors on the palate - dried fig, almond milk, a touch of honey and Mediterranean bush tones. The mouth-feel of this wine is velvety, with light, soft tannins adding to its texture and elegant body.
The Roxanich Lara 1/6 is brilliant on its own, but even greater with food, featuring the body and the intensity to match structured dishes that would usually be paired with reds. The Roxanich Lara 1/6 is matching oriental spicy plates as well as traditional Japanese raw cuisine surprisingly well.
The Roxanich Lara 1/6 is not a wine for conventional minds - it’s a pioneer of long macerated, natural orange wines - made by macerating the grape variety Malvasia Istriana.
