Orin Swift Mannequin 2022 750ml

Orin Swift Mannequin 2022 is a rich, luxurious and highly textured California white wine built around Chardonnay and designed to showcase the fuller, more opulent side of California white wine.

Mannequin is one of Orin Swift's signature white wine expressions, combining ripe fruit, creamy texture and layered oak character with enough acidity to maintain balance.

The 2022 vintage opens with aromas of ripe pear, white peach, lemon curd and tropical fruit, accompanied by vanilla, toasted oak and subtle floral nuances. The palate is broad and creamy, offering layers of baked apple, ripe pear, stone fruit and citrus alongside notes of crème brûlée, vanilla and toasted spice.

Despite its richness, the wine retains refreshing acidity that prevents the palate from becoming overly heavy. Its generous texture and polished finish make it particularly suitable for richer seafood, poultry, creamy sauces and soft cheeses.
