Kate explains the magic behind this gorgeous pumpkin-hued elixir: \"We’ve learned from ten years of skin contact fermentations on white grapes that coaxing the most desirable characteristics requires knowing how long to keep each one on the skins. For us, the contrast of savory and aromatic varieties makes for intriguing yet approachable skin contact white wines.  We’ve come to love the co-ferment of Roussanne and Riesling, which sees the most time on skins - nearly 30 days. This duo anchors the texture of this bottling, giving it depth and texture.  Then we layer a bunch of other white grape varieties and macerations (“skin contact”) to harmoniously land on a truly special wine! Along with notes of peach and thyme, we can't help but notice a touch of eucalyptus in the wine, connecting it to artist Camille Shu's \"Eucs\".\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd what a special orange wine they've made -- aromatic, richly textured, yet approachable.  Not tannic or desert-dry but floral and autumnal, with dried apricots, savory herbs and a touch of ripe, juicy peach.  STAFF FAVE\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rock Juice Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67774526357783,"sku":"nrm1792017388315","price":21.17,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1007\/6690\/8695\/files\/2022-division-lorange_1.jpg?v=1792017394","url":"https:\/\/debclubcladfit.shop\/products\/2022-division-lorange","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
