Now Airen has had a bit of a bad press, but I have been lucky in meeting reasonably good examples over the years, which I had blogged about earlier (here and here). I tasted another interesting wine made from Airen at the Wine Fair a couple of weeks ago, an organic sweet example. I did not have time to go through their product range but they had another sweet Granacha which I tried as well.
This sweet Airen was a nice orange tea colour, with a sweet orangey citrussy nose. Somewhere in the midst of all that was ginger, which was immediately picked up by my wife. The palate was sweet orangey (also gingery), going onto a backbone that was initially more sweet than sour, but finishing with a more prominent dose of acidity.
