It will make you a believer in non-red wines.

ANTONIO GALLONI'S VINOUS MEDIA 90 POINTS - "The 2023 Skins opens in the glass with an exotic blend of florals and tropical citrus. Soothingly round yet dry, this coats the palate in an herbal-tea-like concentration as tangerine notes swirl throughout. It tapers off spicy and with admirable length while leaving the mouth watering for more. This is a skin-contact blend of 34% Chenin Blanc, 18% Pinot Gris, 12% Colombard, 9% Xarel.lo, 8% Verdelho, 6% Vermentino, 3% Trousseau Gris, 3% Semillon, 3% Gewurztraminer, 2% Riesling and 2% Malvasia Bianca—the whole kitchen sink."
