El Melon

Slobodne, El Melon 2018

Hlohovec, Slovakia – 1 Litre, Traminer

'El Melon' is the house orange wine at KOL Restaurant in central London. It was made as a collaboration between ourselves, chef Santiago Lastra and the amazing Slobodne family in Slovakia. 

The wine is 100% Traminer, a grape known for its opulent and zesty aromatics. It went through 10 days of skin contact and was aged in steel tanks for over 16 months before bottling unfined and unfiltered. This low alcohol orange wine is full of life and energy, with notes of grapefruit, pineapple and herbal edges. An intriguing yet super drinkable wine, pairing perfectly with spice.
