Whistler Back To Basics Skin Contact White 2025 is a modern “orange wine” from Barossa Valley, made by fermenting white grapes on their skins to build texture and complexity. The wine shows aromatic notes of peach, mandarin peel, grapefruit, and citrus rind, with subtle floral and nutty nuances.
On the palate, it is fresh yet textural, combining bright natural acidity (from Riesling) with phenolic grip and structure (from skin contact and Semillon). Expect flavors of citrus pith, marmalade, and slight smokiness, with a mineral edge and gentle tannins that give it a unique mouthfeel.
