Trying to introduce J to the weird and wonderful world of skinsies. While I can't say I've got a convert this time around, the little study certainly provided some food for thought. Spectacular nose which J enjoyed too - Dried apricot, bruised apple, mango, white pepper, clove, fresh rose, and ginger. As with a lot orange wines for new drinkers, the palate's where J got turned off by. Kind of cider-like and a little "fuzzy", with good grip and an acetic zing. There's just enough fruit to keep the savory chicken essence elements at bay. Finishes quite earthy and acidic. I would say this is not a particularly challenging skinsy, but not an introductory one either. Although it's quite nice on the occasion, I have to note that I usually like this cuvée more 🤔

Unexpected and glorious Australian expression of this classic varietal. Skin contact and amphora-aged, this is a wine of personality - orange rind, persimmon, kumquat, anise, yellow blossom, with enough texture to blend seamlessly with food and accent it. Delightful with endive-romesco-persimmon salad and black bass with anise broth and shelling beans
