Pale yellow, excellent clarity. Tactile, fine grain sandpaper like, so perhaps an acquired case for some. A clean nose, lemon and lemon peel flavors with depth, great acidity. A deep dive into the variety; not for the faint of heart. After 90 minutes the skin tannins do mellow so you might decant this.

Quickly turning into a fan of Megan Bell. Cool fun natural wines. Reminds me of apples that are ripe/soft and not super crunchy. Has that smell of tangerines that gets on your hands as you peel it.

Tangerine zest, green apple, lemon, honey. Zippy. Complex but easy drinking.

very light skin contact (which I love)! Aromas of tangerine peel, yellow apple, fresh herbs, white blossom, molasses, light spice, honey, whipped cream. on the palate: orange hard candies, white flowers, lemon, thyme, fine tannins, great texture, slight pepper spice finish. So complex and delicious!

pears, a bit of alcohol on the nose? perhaps it needs a moment to warm up
