Swick Wines Mallsoft 2023 Review
Mallsoft is a subgenre of the Vaporwave music genre. It centers around the electronic, easy music we heard in malls back in the day. It’s an oddly soothing genre. According to the winery’s owner and winemaker Joe Swick — whose goal is to promote the Pacific Northwest through wine — he listened to a lot of Mallsoft when making this unique bottling. The blend of Aligoté, Pinot Gris, and Gewürztraminer has pops of spiced tropical fruit with ginger and cream on the nose. The palate has concentrated notes of peach, citrus, and mango with more savory hints with good acidity. As smooth as the soothing tones of mallsoft tunes.
