MORE INFORMATION

Discover the vibrant character of Proyecto Nakkal Skin Contact White

Proyecto Nakkal Skin Contact White 2022 brings a fresh, expressive take on white wine. Made from 100% Muscat Ottonel grown in clay-rich vineyards in Canelones, Uruguay, it offers juicy citrus and stone-fruit flavors with the texture and gentle grip that make skin-contact wine so rewarding.

Hand-harvested grapes ferment with native yeasts in cement and age on their skins, building depth while keeping the wine lively. Expect aromas of tangerine, apricot, peach, kumquat, and a subtle resinous note. On the palate, it’s dry and medium-bodied, with bright acidity, floral spice, and a satisfyingly textured finish.

Made with minimal intervention, this orange wine is bottled unfined and unfiltered, with no added sulfites. Its vivid, naturally hazy color and energetic profile bring something distinctive to the table—whether you’re sharing a bottle over dinner or exploring Uruguay’s exciting natural wine scene.
