2020 SOMOS NARANJITO VERDELHO SKIN CONTACT, MCLAREN VALEY AUSTRALIA (NATURAL WINE)

The Somos team tackle skin contact whites for the second time here.

This is a great example of a more smashable 'orange' wine than some of the more challenging examples on the market today.

The Verdelho fruit was grown biodynamically, all the fruit was fermented on skins before being split in two portions: the first went to barrel to spend time in oak on lees; the second stayed on skins for a huge six months before pressing giving a wild, gingery, exotic tweak to the flavours.
