Lucid L.01 Skin Contact 750 ml

Lucid L.01 Skin Contact is an orange-style wine from Lucid, a small-production California winery, made by fermenting white grapes with their skins still on — the technique that defines "skin contact" or orange wine, borrowed from a winemaking tradition far older than modern white wine production. That contact time pulls tannin, color, and texture from the skins that a standard white wine wouldn't have. Expect a nose of dried apricot and honey, a textured, slightly tannic palate unusual for a white, and a savory, lingering finish. Serve lightly chilled, around 55°F, alongside rich, savory dishes rather than delicate seafood.
