Matic - Pinot Gris Skin Contact - Stajerska, Slovenia

Producer Profile
Fully organic and biodynamic in the vineyard, additive-free in the winemaking process, unique and thought-provoking in his wine styles, and a certified carbon neutral vineyard/winery! One of Slovenia’s finest, this is Matic's take on Pinot Gris. Technically an orange wine, the grapes see 18 days of skin contact, but I’m calling it more of a rosato based on the look and profile.

Tasting Notes
Nose of red apples, a touch of grapefruit, and a hint of wild honey. The palate comes alive with notes of lemon pith, red apple skins, and an almost tomato-paste flavor that is really intriguing. The finish is lush and long with a lingering note of orange peel.
