Eternal Summer 2022 Skin Contact Orange Wine Rosé
2022 Eternal Summer Skin Contact Rosé (Otis Vineyard) **Wine Club Only** Such a unique wine: First one ever produced as far as I can tell. Such a delightful nose with hints of white peach, key lime cream, lavender and candied red cherry. The palate is light yet full bodied which certainly plays with your head. This is a characteristic of all our skin contact wines. Flavors of orange sherbert cut with fresh lime dance across your mouth with a red cherry finish.

Otis Vineyard- one of the oldest in Washington State
Established in 2014 by owner and winemaker Brad Binko. Brad grew up in Buffalo, NY and spent time at Northeastern University, University at Buffalo, and the WWCC Enology and Viticulture program which he is a graduate of. He is a certified sommelier and ran fine dining wine programs in Charleston, SC before moving to Walla Walla to follow his dreams of making wine. As a Sommelier Brad loves wine that show a true sense of where that wine came from. “Its enjoyable to be able to taste 2 different wines made from vineyard directly next to each other. You can harvest the same day and even do the same additions but the final product will be dramatically different due to the native yeast in the vineyard and the micro terrior of each vineyard.” Eternal wines focuses on native yeast, small lot productions with an emphasis on Rhone varietals and age worthy wines.
