We think a lot of online Natural Wine Shops shy away from Field Recordings because of the volumes of wine they make and how it can be easily found. However, most of you new to natural will never find it because Grocery Stores, Liquor stores don't put signs our saying what is Natural and what is crap. Well this store doesn't sell crap, and it also doesn't avoid great wine. This wine is kickass and a good example that orange wine doesn't need to be funky and undrinkable. We love Field Recordings because they are farming responsibly and making wine naturally, despite their volumes. And we hope others follow suit.
Staff Review:
Skins is a delicate yet delicious and accessible orange wine. The Chenin and Riesling grapes shine for me, particularly the sum delivering notes of apricot, wildflower, and citrus zest with an acidic background. A gentle hum of a wine.
