Field Recordings ‘Boxie’ Skin Contact White (3 LITERS)

Winemaker: Andrew Jones

Grapes: Chardonnay, Pinot Gris, Riesling, Albariño

From the producer: Field Recordings is winemaker Andrew Jones’ personal catalog of the people and places he values most. Spending his days as a vine nursery fieldman planning and planting vineyards for farmers all over California, Andrew is sometimes offered small lots of their best fruit on the side. Having stood in just about every vineyard on the Central Coast, he’s all about finding those underdogs with untapped potential. As friendships are made and opportunities are embraced, Andrew produces small quantities of soulful wine from these unusual, quiet vineyards.

Field Recordings offer single-vineyard wines with a sense of place and personality, as well as delightful blends under the Wonderwall and Fiction projects. These bottles are good enough to save for a special occasion … but we’re a laidback crew, so don’t feel bad about putting one back on a Tuesday night.

Boxie: After years of experimenting with crafting orange wines for both our SKINS cuvee and our classic Ramato style Pinot Gris blends, we decided to craft the perfect orange wine to introduce the box wine drinker to the genre. A mix between classic California Chardonnay and orange wine techniques on Pinot Gris, Riesling and Albarino makes this the perfect wine to chill down and keep on tap in your refrigerator.

Chardonnay pressed after 24 hours of skin contact and fermented and aged in neutral French oak. Other varieties fermented on skins for 30 days and pressed to neutral barrels for 4 months of aging. Each box contains 4 bottles of wine and will last in your fridge for up to 90 days. To enjoy, just pop the spout and pour. Bonus points if you slap the bag.
