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?!?
Stone Fruit, Tiki Drinks, Going into Fall Still Rocking Your Summertime Tan
Varietals / Characteristics:
Riesling: Pineapple, Apricot, Green Apples
Pinot Gris: Grapefruit, Blood Orange, Earl Grey
Sauvignon Blanc: Papaya, Passionfruit, Cantaloupe
How's it Made???
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.
Optimal Drinking Situation:
Serve chilled between 45° - 65° while getting ready for MF decorative gourd season
I almost gave this 1 star to make people think that the wine is not good so I can have it all for myself. But let’s be serious, every friggin wine in the line up is damn delicious. I WANT IT ALL
I normally don’t drink wine because I usually don’t like the weird aftertaste but I bought 3 bottles of the Salt Lover’s White Wine and it was amazing! I paired it with a couple dishes I made from Molly Baz’s cookbooks. Hoping to buy more for the holidays to gift!
This wine is SO smooth and fun! We took a bottle out to eat at a fancyAF Italian spot (Ava Gene's in Portland) and even the server took a step back after she tasted it! It's chillable and fruit forward DELISH. Highly recommend.
