MED-BODIED, ORANGE PEEL, DRIED APRICOT, PEACH, WHITE PEPPER, HONEY, NO OAK

Delicious, completely natural skin contact (aka “orange”) wine with nice acidity, some tannin & a touch of funk. 100% Xarel-lo grapes from 70 year old vines spend 8-14 weeks on the skins before spontaneous fermentation with native yeasts in tinaja (clay), after which the wine spends ~3 months on the lees with weekly battonage, and then aged in the same amphora for 4 months before bottling in clay. Unfined & unfiltered, low sulfur.

PAIR WITH: Baked Asparagus w/Gruyère, Garlic, & Bacon

ECOLOGY: Organic
