Tasting Notes 
Marko Skin shows aroma's of quince and baked apple. On the palate, the lively acidity is well balanced by flavours of caramalized orange peel and dried apricot. The skin contact gives it a nice firm structure.

What ́s in a name 
Skin clearly refers to the skin contact this wine has been given. In the label this is depicted as a skinless face, accompanied by the frase “Your skin attracts me with the gravity of the entire cosmos which outside suffers its impenetrable black eternity,” by Nicarguan poet Giaconda Belli.
