One of the best skin contact wines I’ve ever had. Orange blossoms, stone fruit and citrus. Interesting. #orangewine #skincontact #pasorobleswine

Fun orange wine, 41/37/9/8/5 blend of Chenin Blanc, Pinot Gris, Albariño, Verdelho and Riesling. Looks like cherry skin-colored Rosé with excellent clarity, but these are all white varietals. Complex smear of flavors with a light tannin finish. Don’t think I’ve had anything like it, though that hint of Riesling is the bow on the package. Experimental and lovely. I admire its structure, almost dry, balanced but tannin-forward without excess,

Skin contact orange wine with funky farmhouse cider vibes. Stone fruit, orange pith, herbal tea undertones. Bigger body than expected, M acid, with some tannin on the back end
