Skin Contact

Paolo Bea

Arboreus Umbria IGT Trebbiano 2015

Robust skin contact for weeks - array of rich mountain herbs, nuts, tannins. Not a wall flower! — 22 days ago

Enderle & Moll

Weiss & Grau Burgunder Weißburgunder Grauburgunder 2022

Very accessible orange wine without any hint of being overly “natural”. Crisp and the bit of skin contact gives it just enough body and texture to be interesting. — 5 months ago

Contacto Monção & Melgaço Alvarinho 2023

Exclusively from their vineyards in the northern part of Vinho Verde, Monção and Melgaço. I’ve been there! That’s where I accidentally got up two hours early cause my clock switched to Spain time and I thought that meant I'dn need to get up an hour early. Contacto has a little more skin contact than average, turning up with a slight texture and friendly bitter bite. On the nose, it’s fresh lemon zest, wet stone and whetstone, with a bit of white flower. The palate is utterly thirst-quenching, veering into dried apricot territory and a bit of (as I said above) fun bitterness countering the fruit. It all wraps up with a sluice of salinity. Fun, fun, fun! — 4 months ago

Quickly turning into a fan of Megan Bell. Cool fun natural wines. Reminds me of apples that are ripe/soft and not super crunchy. Has that smell of tangerines that gets on your hands as you peel it. — a year ago
