Rachis & Derma Skin Fermented White Chardonnay 2019
Beamsville Bench, Niagara Peninsula, Ontario, CanadaRachis & Derma is the natural wine of Hidden Bench, and this orange chardonnay is from their Beamsville Bench estate's organically farmed grapes, whole cluster, fermented natural, and with 42 days on stems and skins. It then moved in to older French barrels for 6 months prior to bottling, sans fining or filtration or sulphur. Pouring a hazy golden hue, this fragrant wine opens with tightly stencilled apricot, bergamot, grapefruit on a brisk, astringent palate, gripped with a fine texture, and finishing with lingering mineral spice. A lovely, clean, interesting orange.Tasted: 14 December 2020Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| ON | $35.00 | 750ml | winery direct |
