Chalmers 'Mother Block' Skin Contact

Background

"The Mother Block Skin Contact wine is a blend of white varieties Vermentino (from Sardinia, Liguria and Tuscany), Ansonica (also known as Inzolia, from western Sicily) and Pecorino (ItalyÕs eastern coastal regions) with splashes of Falanghina (hailing from Campania in ItalyÕs south), Moscato Giallo (northern Italy) and Nosiola (indigenous to Trentino in ItalyÕs far north). - Cellarhand"

Tasting Note

"The wine, slightly cloudy, with six to eight weeks of skin contact evident in its veritable aromatic kaleidoscope of ginger plant, lemon and lime, coconut husk, and Vietnamese mint, is so fresh and zesty youÕll want to be sitting on a desert island drinking it! The palate shows all that skinsy phenolic grippy pulp and texture with soft herbs and melon, and a little bitter twang that leads into zippy refreshing acidity.. - Cellarhand"
