This is the last barrel aged beer we brewed in Blenheim, before uprooting and setting up a new brewery in the North. A 100% spontaneous fermented and barrel aged lambic inspired beer, co-fermented with the equally spontaneous fermented Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc juice from our fine friends at Cirro Wines.

Bottle shared in London / cheers to Dani. Pours mostly clear gold with minimal creamy white head. Funky and sweaty, some grass, pale wood, lemon. Medium bodied with fine, spritzy carboantion. Quenching finish, more funk, ripe citrus, lemony tang, melon, a touch of woody dryness. Solid.
