Offbeat and oddly appealing. It's a blend of gewurztraminer, Riesling and Pinot gris given the full natural wine treatment - ferment with skin Maceration, hints of VA, hazy orange color...and yet for all the funk it works. Dynamic with food - I had it with münster from the master fromaggeur of Alsace, Hoxair - stunning

🤯🤤 strange, but intoxicating. Pure horse nose funk with subtle but persistent Riesling bass notes. Palate a bomb of acidity, rich texture with considerably but pleasant VA. Brutal!

I drank the glass i ordered a bit too quickly. Lots of apple notes, a lingering finish, yet in its own funky way super refreshing. Perfect late afternoon sipper!

Funky, stinky, volatile, yet oddly I keep going back for more. Horse barn on the nose, floral and acidic on the palate. Not something I’d drink every day but worth a taste for sure.

Orange pop rocks. Great acid (probably some VA) and texture.

Not very good, even with salmon and bok choy. I’ll give it a day.
