Every year this wine has all of the richness and complexity of orange wine with none of the volatility or funk. I love it.

Beautiful. Rich and light with fruit and earth in prefect proportion. Outstanding with sunchoke soup, worth a moment of quiet contemplation by itself.

Looks like a glass of clarified butter. Smooth like an orange wine, but with a hit of acid like a white. Paired well w/ steamed artichokes of all things..

As it turns out, Greenville will bear a touch of orange.

Delicious. Best domestic extended macerated white I've had in a while. Served too cold at Shed, but happy to let it open and come up to temp.
