2019 - $27
This juice perfectly replicates the experience of biting into an almost-ripe nectarine! Add to that a wonderful bit of skin contact, and you have an engaging wine!

Half of the grapes were fermented on the skins for 5 days, half were direct pressed. The combination is so pleasant.

Cloudy, beautiful color and tart but clean finish.

Just enough skin contact to give it a little grip on the finish. It only gets better as it warms up. Beautifully done.

Got some funk, fizz, and pineapple. Pairs best with a friend with their own bottle.

2018 vintage. Super fun wine. Retains tropical fruit characteristics of the grape but is clearly different in that it has more body and a bit of funk to remind of skin contact.
