Our 2022 Skin Contact White Wine (also known as "orange wine") was de-stemmed and left to oxidize for two days prior to starting fermentation. Its slight golden hue is a result of a seven-day fermentation on skins, adding to its unique character. The wine was then matured for ten months using a combination of neutral French oak and stainless-steel barrels resulting in this crisp white blend if Chardonnay, Viognier and Muscat. The bouquet has notes of apricot, tangerine, and honeysuckle followed by nuanced flavors of bitter orange peel and tea tannin. Fruity and floral notes make it an excellent pairing for summertime, beach outings and good times.

90 PTS & Hidden Gem - Wine Enthusiast

"Effusive floral, toasted almond and baked apple aromas are followed by a rather thick texture carrying dried apples, dried pears and almond-biscotti flavors that are rich and mouth coating. The wine makes a nice change of pace for pairing with sauteed scallops or aged cheese. " - Jim Gordon

What people are saying

A poised, youthful style with lively cherries and cranberries, white pepper, redcurrant leaf, and pomegranate acidity.
— Decanter World Wine Awards on 2018 Sonoma County Pinot Noir
A youthful and approachable wine, this is fleshy, lush and opulent in sweet white peach, pineapple and cantaloupe. The full-bodied concentration has a hint of anise and vanilla around robust toasted oak.
