Ambra Limoncello Liqueur (500ml)
Produced in South Australia using locally sourced Lemons from the Riverlands using thick skinned lemons. The skins of the lemons are macerated in alcohol to give colour and flavour to the Limoncello. No preservatives or artificial colours are used.
Retasted 2018... As below, but with better length and overall freshness, the finish sustained by a judicious balance of tart peel and citrus oils. 92 points
First tasted 2015... Pale, slightly cloudy emerald green. The nose shows promise with lifted lemon sorbet notes refreshed by hints of peel. Viscous and sweet lemon cordial like flavours; finish is balanced by very delicate acidity. Everything's in its place but upping the zest and freshness would make for a classic. 88 points
Other reviews... Ambra Limoncello is the flagship product from this South Australian producer. Made with locally sourced lemons, the nose offers plenty of fresh and zesty lemon-drop notes that come across as entirely natural in origin. At room temperature, there is a slight note of spirit as well, suggesting this product could use a touch more integration. Still, they suggest this limoncello is best served cold, and out of the fridge those spirit notes are less obvious. On the palate, the sweetness is well balanced with the zestiness of real lemon. The finish is absent of any cloying notes from aggressive sweetness and, overall, this is a pleasant, natural-tasting limoncello that would mix well in most scenarios. 91 points - Fred Siggins, winecompanion.com
