Shape-shifting goddess of perfume, somewhat forgotten in the vast pantheon of Greek mythology, we chose Philyra to represent the scrumptiously scented though recently neglected quince. Once renowned for its mellifluous aroma, quince requires patience and long cooking to release it's full flavor. This makes it a great candidate for the slow churn of fermentation, where it complements the apples with a subtle floral nose and piquant citrus finish.

500mL bottle drunk 9/14/24. Clear, bright, beeswax. Small, off-white head. Well-carbonated. Nose is a healthy mix of naturally fermented fruit, both quince and apple sharing space. Gentle lactic notes with low sugar and lots of mineral and zesty acidity. In the mouth it's equally light, bright, tart, mildly lactic and with pleasing, well-attenuated fruits. Juiciness, mineral, even light stone fruit character. No oak character, though maybe these are fermented in neutral oak? Could be, not sure.
