2024 Matt Crutchfield Wines Skin Contact Cortese, Forestville, CA

100% Cortese from Lost Slough Vineyards, Clarksburg AVA.

Bright, clean, fruity and food-friendly. Rarely found in other parts of the world, this Piedmont varietal has a concentrated tropical fruit profile. Whole cluster fermented for 2 weeks in stainless steel, then pressed to barrel for 10 months. Hibiscus flower, mango nose and a salty, mango skin palate, classy tannins. Stunning with your favorite Thai or Indian dishes, great with tangy or creamy cheeses, awesome on its own.
