Tasting Notes
Nativo Amarillo Orange 2020. This organic-certified skin contact white is 50% Chenin Blanc, 33% Roussanne, and 17% Grenache Blanc. The grapes are fermented on their skins, with each variety fermented separately. After 10 days of fermentation, the wine is pressed into old French oak barrels for aging. It remains unfiltered for a rich mouthfeel and full flavor. Amber-colored with subtle notes of flor, dried herbs, and citrus, leading to a savory, nutty finish.
