Winemaker Notes:

My interest in skin fermented white wines was sparked in 2011 when it was still a new idea in this country. The time on the skins morphs the wine from fresh and fruity to complex and savory. This is my most-loved fermentation every year because I spend more time tending to it than any other wine. Extended skin maceration with white wine can be tricky, but with much effort this is one of my favorite things that I create.
