Field Recordings Skins 2024

Field Recordings Skins is praised for its zesty, vibrant orange wine profile with notes of apricot, tangerine, and a crisp finish. While some appreciate its complex, full-bodied nature, others find it slightly astringent or lacking in depth. The wine's unique blend of Chenin Blanc, Pinot Gris, and Riesling offers a nuanced experience, appealing to those exploring skin-contact wines.

Field Recordings Skins presents a captivating exploration of the skin-contact style, displaying a vibrant amber hue. The bouquet is a harmonious blend of apricot, orange zest, and subtle floral notes, underpinned by a whisper of almond. On the palate, it reveals a medium-bodied structure with a pleasingly grippy texture, showcasing layers of dried peach, chamomile, and a hint of saline minerality. The wine's bright acidity provides a refreshing counterpoint to its complex flavors, culminating in a lingering finish with a touch of ginger spice. An exemplary representation of California's innovative approach to orange wines.
