2021 Wine Dudes Skin Contact Pet Nat, Stajerska, Slovenia $20.99
Two wine dudes sipping wine with the ocean between them came up with the idea to make an awesome easy drinking skin contact pet-nat.
Delicate orange zest and cinnamon flavors combined with tropical fruits slowly move into the nutty, yeasty flavors to a round and deep finish. Rich and creamy texture as a result of skin contact and malolactic fermentation with wild bubbles on top of that make a perfect combination to pair with wild trout tartare, foie gras with fig jam, and of course, hard cheeses
