Spice rack, pickles, curry, apricot jam, dried apple and apricot - the nose paints a whole pantry before you sip. The palate is thinner than the aromatics promise: focused but quite VA-driven, with a yeasty-bready finish that edges into spoiled-orange territory. Neat and complex, undeniably well-made, just not quite my register - the kind of orange where the craft is obvious but I don't fall for the wine.
Moravagine is one of Mythopia's two skin-contact Chasselas cuvées, alongside Disobedience, named for Blaise Cendrars's 1926 novel - Cendrars was Swiss-born, which adds the local angle. Whole-bunch skin maceration in airtight steel followed by multi-year aging in used oak. Bio Suisse certified. 12% ABV. No SO2, no fining, no filtration.
