The short answer
Skin-contact white wine is made by keeping white grapes in contact with their skins during fermentation or maceration. That contact can add colour, aroma, texture and tannin, with results ranging from subtle to firmly structured.
How the search works
Genuine Grape uses documented grape, place and winemaking details to help you search the style more precisely, including skin-contact duration and fermentation vessel when those facts are available.
