Um wow hi I want to CHOMP this wine—native yeasts insanely long maceration and no fining/filtering. This is what minimal interference should be. It’s ultra ripe but somehow refreshing. It looks light yet cloudy and the tannins are minimal—almost cerasuolo level and it is animal-ly sensuous to boot. So it’s...I dunno sex with a Viking? Perhaps. I’ve yet to have that but a girl can dream. Oh flavor: jammy but light with this wild kick of citrus peel and someone tossed a handful of four-leaf clovers in. Because if you’re drinking this you are lucky.
