Oh, this is the cleaner of the two skin-contact Chasselas - more beautiful than Moravagine right next to it. Dried herbs and pencil shavings, less VA, a slightly cheesy note threading through. Green chestnut, iodine. The palate brings the structure and depth the Moravagine misses, faintly perfumed, with proper grippy tannin underneath.
Disobedience is Mythopia's Chasselas orange wine, named for Thoreau's "Civil Disobedience" - renamed from the original "Sélection" label in 2009. Chasselas 100%. Extended whole-bunch skin maceration in airtight steel followed by years in used 225-litre oak. Schmidt's line: "Disobedience does not always lead to new insights, but new insights are always the result of disobedience." 12% ABV. No SO2, no fining, no filtration.
