Zavec Brothers Pinot Gris Skin Contact
Why this is on Broken Compass: Skin contact, orange style. The producer's own notes describe unfined. Supplier record: sustainable practice. Producer notes: wild or indigenous yeast.
What to expect
Skin contact, so expect a wine with grip and a little tannin, dried apricot and orange peel, and a savoury edge. Cloudiness is normal and welcome.
