A coferment of Gala apples and dry farmed, spray free, noble late harvest red & white wine grapes, featuring whole cluster carbonic maceration & a Hungarian oak rest.
Our production space was formerly a winery, and with the building we inherited a few dozen red & white grape vines. Despite a dry season overall, August of 2022 saw a handful of brief showers that brought a bloom of noble rot to the grapes and inspired us to pursue this unique late harvest coferment. We picked the grapes at their peak, between 28-31 Brix, in a rolling harvest that spanned over a month.
Notes: dried raspberry, bittersweet apple, tobacco, oolong tea
