WINE DESCRIPTION
The Envelope is a captivating and unconventional wine that defies categorization. This skin-fermented "orange" wine, with its stunning psychedelic hue, is made from a unique blend of Chardonnay, Gewürztraminer, Malvasia Bianca, and Albariño. Bursting with aromas and flavors of dried apricots, peaches, honey, lychees, roses, and spices, it delivers a textured, full-bodied experience with moderate alcohol and vibrant acidity. Fermented on skins with wild yeast for 16-25 days and aged 22 months in oak, it offers exceptional complexity. Perfect with hearty dishes like duck, smoked ham, or seafood stews, this limited gem (188 cases) is pure intrigue in a bottle.
