One of the most exciting things for us is layering fruit in such a way that it's tough to tell where one ends and the next begins. The fruits in Cursive flow naturally into one another. Cursive is a blend of perry on Riesling skins, cider aged for months on blueberries and wine made from the hybrid grape: Maréchal Foch. The grapevines are an Ontario legacy, planted 47 years ago. Pear and Riesling skins play in the aroma. Blueberries lift Maréchal Foch. Tannin and texture are a coalescence of each fruit holding hands. Fermented with our indigenous microflora.

(On tap @ Birreria Volo, Toronto, Dec 31/19) Pours pink-tinged medium purple in the candlelight with a small head. Notes of lovely lightly Bretted natural wine, depth in the base from both cider and pear, crushed tart blueberries, touch of jam, hints of aromatic fruity table grape too. Light sweet and light to moderate tartness, hints of lactic and acetic acid, mineral dry finish. Medium bodied, light carbonation. Revel is really upping their game lately and this is delightful, both multilayered and aggressively drinkable. UPDATE: Drinking a 2019 bottle @ home and this is even better than I remember at the bar on tap. Very complex but nice balance, quite wine-like. Interested to try the 2020 blend.
