2021 Müller Thurgau Skin Contact
This skin-contact orange wine is one of our favorite wines here at Vitae Springs. The fruit, from our estate block planted in 1977, comes from some of the oldest Müller-Thurgau vines in the country. Müller-Thurgau, classically a non aromatic variety, had aromatics triggered by fermentation with skin contact for 2 weeks. The resulting color is a light amber wine that expresses floral characters of honey suckle, orange peel, and jasmine. This unique wine is truly one of a kind.
