Field | L'Orange Gewurztraminer | Orange Wine
This is a gewürztraminer like none other! From the Santa Lucia Highlands in California, this gewurztraminer is left to macerate on the skins for 15 days after crushing. This creates a beautiful orange color and creates a different bouquet and palate than one might expect. These are notes of grapefruit and peppercorn and flavors like apricot and peaches. This extended skin contact gewurztraminer white wine also has a surprising hint of tannins that blend nicely into a full body. What a great way to spin a gewürztraminer into something new!

Zanon Boschera Skin Contact Pet Nat Natural Sparkling Wine
This is an unfiltered sparkling wine made similar to the champagne style from a rare grape called Boschera, native to Veneto, Italy where there is less than 20 acres in the world! We were the first to import this grape into the US!
Compared to the Prosecco grape (Glera), Boschera is more complex, and in fact this wine has been aged for over 3 years in the bottle on the lees.
With 2 days of skin contact giving it a deep yellow color, this native yeast fermented natural wine is then refermented with its native lees and then undisgorged, so it is unfiltered and continues to age on the lees too, allowing it to become more complex over time.
You can say it is a vintage & aged ancestral method, or Pet Nat style, also called Col Fondo in Italian since it is on its lees. It has herbal, nutty and yeasty aromas and savory taste with a long saline finish. Pairs with many foods & throughout the meal, from appetizers to main course.
Type of Wine: White, Sparkling
Grape: Boschera
Vintage: 2018
Alcohol % by Vol: 11%
Some pairings to try: Fish entrees and aged cheeses
