Lubanzi "Orange Is" Skin Contact 2025 (750ml)

Skin contact gives a white grape the color and grip of a red, and this one from Lubanzi Wines takes Chenin Blanc, the workhorse white of South Africa's Swartland, and macerates it on its skins to pull out texture and a copper-tinged hue. The 2025 is a still, dry orange wine from the Western Cape, a style that trades the crisp neutrality of conventional Chenin for something more tannic, savory, and food-friendly.
