Materia Prima Orange: Xarel-lo on gewurz skins. Women winemakers too. I keep seeing more orange wines rested on aromatic/darker skins and this is a great example.

A skin contact Gewurztaminer: The prolonged contact really brings out the floral notes.

www.instagram.com/heybrotherwines: I produce a 48 hour skin contact Malvasia that’s incredible! Such an underrated grape! Really feels more like a red than a white, gives amazing floral notes, and can’t beat the color!
