WTN: Southold TX High Plains WW '20....(short/boring)

by TomHill » Sat Jan 01, 2022 8:16 pm

Tried this skin-contact WW over the weekend:
1. SoutholdFarmCellar Texas High Plains WW (11.74%; 66% Roussanne/34% GrunerVeltliner; www.SoutholdFarmAndCellar.com; 35 ppm SO2 @ btl gets) Fredericksburg/TX 2020: Med.light gold color slightly cloudy/browning color; some Rouss/honeysuckle/honeyed not funky/earthy/herbal slight mucilage/Kansas haymow rather strange nose; bit soft slight tangy/metallic some sour slight Rouss/honeyed/honeysuckle slight resiny some earthy/haymow/cheesy strange flavor; med.long slight Rouss/honeysuckle earthy/haymow/herbal/cheesy soft somewhat weird/strange/non-wine finish; speaks of Rouss w/ a whisper; a rather strange/bizarre white but no natty character fortunately; just a strange white w/ little fruit & not particularly pleasurable. $19.50 (KK)
___________
A wee BloodyPulpit:
1. This is a wnry started by Regan & Carey Meadow on the NorthFork of LongIsland and moved to the hill country of TX. Given it's a PMWine Distributor wine, it's a safe bet that they make "natural" wines. It fortunately did not show any of the natty character of those, just on the weird not particularly pleasant side.

Bought in grapes from High Plains.

I wonder why they moved to Hill Country rather than High Plains region.

I don't have much experience with orange wine, mostly because I have disliked those examples I have had. One can't judge Texas wines on this strange example; however the winery thought it was good and presumably so did the shop where you bought it from, so what do I know?

You were lucky to find a TX wine on sale outside the State.
