Muscadine Rosé

NC - North Carolina
Alcohol 6%
We've embarked on a venture so delightfully fresh and undeniably southern that our hearts brim with pride. Prepare yourselves for a muscadine extravaganza, y'all. This inaugural vintage serves as a proof-of-concept, a testament to our commitment to innovation. Only a fortunate few will have the privilege to savor our debut creation, as we've produced a mere 5 cases. And true to our pet nat obsession, we've crafted this wine in the naturally effervescent style we hold dear. Introducing our carbonic muscadine pet nat—a celestial elixir that dances upon the palate like cosmic juicy fruit, intertwining with stardust and luminous neon hues. It bursts forth, a kaleidoscope of celestial flavors, taking you on a transcendent journey. But what exactly is carbonic? It's a winemaking technique wherein whole grapes undergo fermentation inside a sealed vessel, rich with carbon dioxide. This process yields a vibrant and fruity wine, boasting minimal tannins and an exceptional flavor profile. Given the robust nature of muscadines and their thick skins, carbonic fermentation was the perfect choice to capture a superlative expression of their juicy essence. Raise your glasses to a foxy and fruity explosion—a symphony of juicy sweetness harmonizing with a delightful tartness, akin to the taste of candy. This is a celebration of muscadine like no other. Cheers! 🥂 🥂A foxy and fruity explosion of juicy sweet-tart like candy. 🍇 Triumph, Nesbitt and Supreme Grapes.

2023 Defi Sangiovese Pet Nat Rose 2023

Sangiovese Rosé

NC - Yadkin Valley
Alcohol 10.3%
Amie’s wine journey began in Tuscany, Italy, at the age of 20. Though this region is mostly known for red wines, when she visited a small winery in Chianti she discovered a dry rose made from Sangiovese. It became one of her first wine loves. Nearly 20 years later, she wanted to create a wine that was reminiscent of that time in her life. This wine combines her love of Sangiovese Rose, but with a little sparkling twist as it’s also made in a style we have become known for, petillant natural. We left the juice on the skins for 24 hours to extract just the right amount of color, aromatics, and tannin. The resulting wine shows fresh strawberries, juicy watermelon, and a whisper of wild roses, reminiscent of a summer garden in full bloom. On the palate, it dances with bubbles, delivering a refreshing burst of red berries with hints of cherry blossom. A touch of citrus zest adds a layer of complexity. Swan Creek AVA. ABV 10.3%

2023 DéFi Tempranillo Pet Nat

Tempranillo

NC - Yadkin Valley
Alcohol 12.4%
"This is DeFi Wine's Tempranillo, straight out of Yadkin Valley, NC. This 3-day skin contact dark rose tastes like someone smashed chocolate-covered cherries into a bottle and let it ferment just right. It's bold, unapologetic, and it's here to shake up your day. First things first—serve it chilled. None of that room-temperature nonsense for reds. Let it cool your palate while it sets it on fire with flavor Now, what to eat with it? Start with some grilled lamb chops. Let the char and the fat play off that cherry-chocolate vibe. Or get yourself a rich, creamy mushroom risotto. The earthy, savory goodness will make this Tempranillo sing. For a snack, slap together a charcuterie board. Think prosciutto, blue cheese, almonds—the works. Each bite, each sip, it all just clicks. And if you’ve got a sweet tooth, end your night with a flourless chocolate cake. The dark, dense richness pairs perfectly with the wine's punchy finish."

That's How the Light Gets In Pet Nat

Apple

NC - North Carolina
Alcohol 6.9%
The phrase "That's how the light gets in" is often attributed to the famous singer and songwriter Leonard Cohen. It appears in his song "Anthem," which is part of his 1992 album "The Future." The specific line in the song goes, "Ring the bells that still can ring, forget your perfect offering, there is a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in." In this context, we are expressing the idea that imperfections and flaws are an inherent part of life, and it's through these imperfections that beauty and enlightenment can emerge. We interpret the saying to mean that, even in difficult or imperfect situations, there is hope and opportunity for growth and positivity. Taste: Fragrant apple peel, citrusy and earthy.

Good Food Finalist

Fermented in stainless steel tanks to bring out the full freshness of the fruit. Like a high-elevation white wine this cider's acidity is perfectly balanced with a rich & round finish.

"We know what we are, but not what we may be." - Ophelia in William Shakespeare's drama Hamlet. Predicting the outcome of fermentation is easy when you take known apples, make the juice sterile, add a selected yeast, filter and package it. You pretty much know what's going to happen. But, for us this means a missed opportunity. The flora has a potentially deeper story to tell from the wild yeast strains living on the skins of the fruit. It's a once in a fermentation expression, different each time, as temperatures, humidity, insects, etc. are never the same each season. It's the 'butterfly effect" in full effect. Much like Ophelia was struggling with uncertainty and the resulting confusion in Hamlet, so can be crafting Pet Nat Ciders and wines. With limited interventions and options to guide the fruit, and requiring absolute precision of those options, it can lead to worrisome and long nights. But with high risk comes great reward and sometimes you hit big.

Lighten the Mood

Cyser

NC - North Carolina
Alcohol 10%
“Lighten the Mood,” is a blend of cider and mead with specific intentions. It aims to shift how we think about wine purity. We believe it isn't about keeping grapes and apples and honey and muscadines and raspberries separate. It's about pure expression. Expression of one’s self, and in this instance, the collective self. It’s about authenticity. It’s about blending two producers separated by 500 miles, but who share a deep passion for nature and wine and earth and people, and how they might blend and meld together. So what is exactly in the bottle? This is Brooklyn meets middle-of-nowhere Central NC. This is big city, a small township. This is juxtaposition in harmony. The honey for the mead comes from fingerlakes in rural New York, so there is also an element of rural NC meets rural NY. We pumped barrel-aged Wildflower honey wine into a freshly emptied cider barrel in the back of Lyndon's truck. We were on a learning trip up north and took the opportunity to visit Enlightenment and take their mead on a road trip down south. We married it with some cider aged in freshly emptied muscadine wine barrels, for that kiss of the south. We blended them together and let them get to know each other. When they were ready they asked for a bit of fresh life, so we bottled conditioned with a touch of fresh muscadine and raspberry juice.

Ciderkin Rose 4-Pack

Apple

NC - North Carolina
Alcohol 6.9%
"This ciderkin is unapologetically bold. This vintage is led by the enchanting aroma of wildflowers and lavender, with subtle hints of honey. Its robust tannic structure is derived from extended skin contact with apple, grape, and blueberry pomace. Just like all our ciders, Ciderkin Rose is completely dry, devoid of any residual sugar. Ciderkin Rose sips light and punchy all at the same time. It'll transport you to the whimsical world of what seltzers wish they could be. Dreamy watermelon and strawberry yet light and refreshing. Traditional Ciderkin is made from reconstituting apple pomace. We craft our rose ciderkin by spontaneously fermenting on the pomace of apple, grape and blueberry skins. Reusing the pomace and the fruit skins helps us create a unique and delicious product while also fulfilling our food waste reduction goals and sustainability ethos."
