Very pretty version of skin-fermented Chardonnay. Not taking the Orange Wine thing too far.

A rich golden color with very aromatic notes of lycée, garden flowers, over ripe apricots, Papaya, and a touch of spice. The body was full with a rich almost oily texture. Ripe nectarine, tropical fruits (pineapple, papaya) with all spice and bruised apples. The acidity balanced it out and made it refreshing.

Terpeney. Little bit of tannin. Bright and fresh.

Initially it wasn't my fave but after balancing for about 6 months it really is drinking great. Tannins are mellow, stone fruit has dissipated, expresses the chardonnay purely
