Touch is a fun but elegant orange wine. On the nose hints of passion fruit and mango paired with creamy texture and a sprinkle of Malden salt on the finish.

Vinification

During harvest, the grapes are processed in the backyard. Whole bunches go straight into open top vats. Most are de-stemmed, but some kept as whole bunches for carbonic maceration (30%). Fermentation occurs naturally without any additives. After 16 days of maceration, the mash is pressed into small oak barrels. Maturation on gross lees for 10 months without any additives. No fining, no filtration and no temperature control at any stage of vinification. At bottling 5mg of sulfur is added.
