This contemplative orange wine is inscrutably intense in apricot, oregano, and baking spice flavors. But the '21 vintage is an especially moody experience - like Big Sur after a rain. Experience eucalypt and faint pine forest scents - California coast vibes! Cortese grapes grow on just two acres at Fox Hill Vineyard - that's like 1/6th of all Cortese planted in the US! Cortese is always rare, but with 6+ months maceration on skins, Chilion provides something extra special. Its complexity is amazing, with amplified spice, herbs, and phenolics unlike any other grape.
