2022 a gluggable skin contact-y white

I’m calling this particular one “a gluggable skin contact-y white” because you really can’t help but glug it right down. It tastes a little like gummy peaches from the penny candy shop we grew up with. It’s tart, and tannic, and a little grassy, but not overly funky or weird in the way that some orange wines tend to lean these days. 

What's it taste like?!?

75% Riesling, destemmed and treated as a traditional maceration, with the juice being pumped over onto the skins once per day. Semi-Carbonic Pinot Gris (15%) and Sauvignon Blanc (10%) fill out the rest of the blend. Wine was fermented naturally with ambient yeasts in a combination of stainless steel and neutral barrels. Blended together in tank with a pinch of SO2 before bottling.
