Skinsy Gris Ramato by C.S Wine Co

Why i'm even writing this I am questioning, as it's absolutely flying off the taps but here goes anyway. Skinsy Gris Ramato from C.S Wine Co! Goodness gracious this is a 'Glou wine' if i've ever seen one. If you're not familiar with the term 'ramato' it's Italian for 'copper' and is used to describe Pinot Gris/Grigio that has had some time macerating on it's skins allowing a touch of that pinky/grey pigment in the grape skin to leech out and mix with the juice to give us a gorgeous coppery pink wine. Not so much contact that we'll call it orange but just enough to draw out some of that extra goodness of flavours and pigment sitting in the skin.

Up to speed? Great. Lets talk about aromas and flavours. On the nose I get crisp apple and lemon drops. Take a swig and you'll see those aromas transfer to flavours on the palette but much more subtly as stone fruit comes up from behind and quickly overtakes. We've got BIG juicy yellow peaches and white nectarines and acid so good your cheeks will tingle for a moment after it's left your mouth. This bitch is alive and thriving, loud and energetic (definitely a Leo). Come and enjoy some with us before she bounds on out of here.
