Winemaker Notes: 

"Showcasing a golden-orange hue, this wine has bright aromas of dried orange rind, citrus zest, hazelnuts and exotic spice. On the palate it is full bodied and slightly oily in texture with lingering fine-grained tannins."  

From the Producer: 

"Rumpelstiltskin Wines is our endeavor to cultivate the more unusual and obscure wine styles from the old world but made from local grapes. Skin-fermented white wines (also called “amber wines,” “orange wines,” or “vini macerate”) originated in the Caucasus Mountains in present day Republic of Georgia. Traditionally, whole clusters of grapes including the stems, skins, juice and seeds are fermented together and left co-mingled for months. The result is an amber-colored wine with considerable texture and structure; tasting more like a red wine." 

Alcohol: 14.1%
