Yes, we ferment right on the skins giving it a very distinctive flavors. Ok now
that you’re back, how about that color?  A beautiful golden orange.    The nose
has hints of fermenting pear mixed with a mineraly earthy quality. As it moves
across the  palate it starts with not quite so ripe pear and apple that mix with
spicy undertones. You will also notice a structure that only good tannins can
supply and are balanced with a nice bit of acidity. The finish is ripe apple and
melon that seem to linger like a big red. The first thing I thought to pair with
this wine was a butternut squash soup. That’s why we call this one a winter
white.
