"This drink was so food friendly. It worked well with charcuterie, it was lovely with chicken tagine, it also tasted great with lasagne. Every time the drink was refreshing and delicate enough not to clash with any of the ingredients or flavours from the food and had these lovely peach and orange fruity notes but with a refreshing not savoury but also not sweet finish. It also worked with chocolate, where it tasted quite malty and caramelly." - Katie Exton, sommelier and co-founder of Lorne Restaurant
