Orange peel, powder sugar, apricot jam, apple sauce, savory minerality. Full malo, 30-day skin contact, 2 years in barrel, rich and delicious. Elevated acidity and drying tannins. — 6 years ago
Unctuous Salome elderflower honetsuckle peach with skin contact and linearity. Definitely a gewurtz baby. Lush but with refreshing acidity. Could’ve sat on it... — 7 years ago

This is a natural wine I love. An OG natural wine from a very talented winemaker. A baby orange with the right amount of skin contact which complements the finished wine and doesn’t become the focus. I wouldn’t call this an orange wine. It’s a white wine enhanced with slight oxidation. Flavors of lemon custard and fermented apple cider. Splendid. — 7 years ago
Really excellent orange wine... all the kaleidoscopic flavor and aromatic progression that make good skin contact wines enjoyable. Though would have liked more acid. — 7 years ago

Amazing orange! Smells like an ice wine, but drinks like the skin contact Pinot Gris that it is. Great glass to finish dinner with. — 9 years ago

This is a big wine full of big contradictions. First of all, was not expecting a dark golden, almost orange hue. Had to look it up and was surprised by an SB with intense skin and malo aging. A pungent, sour nose. It’s not at all a turn off, the opposite really. At the front I get a brine, salt water character but that quickly turns into a giant sour apricot with a long lingering finish that transitions into unripe banana and spicy herbs. Medium to full body with loads of puckering acid. A unique and wildly different wine. — 7 years ago

In a world where skin contact whites seem to be vying for the title of orangest, haziest, apricottyest, the elegance and grace in this wine are a reminder of the possibilities. Aged on the skins in amphora, the result is a bright, orchard and citrus mountain stream with an amazing texture that never once makes you think orange wine. From magnum, which seems to me to be the right serving size for two. — 7 years ago

Once I stopped wanting this to be Muscadet (much lower acidity) or Ramato Pinot Gris (not nearly the tannin/phenolic structure) I really enjoyed this. It's a much quieter and more nuanced 'orange' wine, rewarding close attention and time taken. Lots of development over 3 days, and I'm curious where this is in another year or two. Thanks @Hardy Wallace ! — 9 years ago
30 days of skin contact, from Friulian producer Radikon. One of the gold standards for skin contact wine. — 9 years ago
This is awesome. How often do you get a blend of vermentino, marsanne, Grenache blanc, picpoul from the U.S. With 50% skin fermentation. Almost looks like Sauternes in the glass. But the mouthfeel and balance are amazing. — 10 years ago
Bea skin contact, less funky and tannic mouthfeel than the 2007 but still a joy! — 11 years ago
