1 btl of each Kalleske Plenarius Viognier 'Orange Wine' 2023 Variety: Viognier What's in the glass: The grapes were harvested in the cool of the night on March 14th. They were then destemmed to an open top fermenter. It was treated like a red wine with hand pump-overs morning and night to circulate the fermenting juice through the skins extracting flavour and subtle tannin/phenolics. The must was entirely wild yeast fermented with absolutely no additions. The wine was on skins for 9 days with ferment temperature ranging up to 25 degrees Celsius. At dryness the must was drained and the wine was filled to seasoned French oak hogsheads. It underwent natural malolactic fermentation in barrel and was matured for 11 months on lees prior to racking for bottling with zero additions, bottling as 100% grapes. Quealy Turbul Friulano 2022 Variety: Friulano What's in the glass: A modern natural wine celebrating extended maceration on skins before oxidative ageing in barrel and amphora. Engaging, diaphanous aromas of angelica blossom, honey, parsley root, lemon rind with a peppery spice entice on the nose. On the palate, the textural thrill of Turbul becomes apparent. Sleek, creamy, and beautifully poised, the richness from extended skin contact balanced with Friulano’s fine acidity, achieved by strict crop levels to assure acid rich grapes with thick burnished skins. Try with antipasti, raw fish, or creamy pasta to reap full benefit. Vinteloper Black Label 'Skins' 2023 Variety: Pinot Gris | Gewürztraminer | Riesling What's in the glass: Succulent pineapple, rosewater and florals really carry though. Then fresh marshmallows over a hint of vanilla bean.
