2017 Helen & Joey Wayward Child Skin Contact Pinot Gris 750ml

Previous vintages have been quirky, but the 2017 Wayward Child Pinot Gris truly raises the bar with its bold funkiness. This wine presents a cloudy, deep orange hue and features prominent aromas of orange zest, tart fruit, and floral notes on both the nose and palate. Its focus on grip and texture makes it an ideal pairing for dishes you might typically consider serving with beer—think fish and chips, spicy Thai, spicy Mexican, or anything rich and fatty. Initially, the wine can be quite reserved in the glass, so allow it some time to breathe. This Wayward Child combines a scientific approach with a dose of 70s funk, resulting in a delicious and distinctive wine produced in small quantities.
