Malbec Sour
At the end of the 2019 harvest, we got our hands on freshly pressed Malbec juice from our friends at Poplar Grove Winery. We co-fermented this juice with our sour base beer in oak barrels and aged it for nearly a year. During the 2020 harvest, we got fresh Malbec skins from them, and added these to the barrel to bring in more colour and tannic structure. An alliance of disciplines, an expression of local.

500mL bottle, pours a deep dark mahogany, like red grape juice, with a small, quickly-dissipating pink head. Nose is really vinous, with loads of red grape must, intense oak, lots of vinous character and some wild yeast. Flavour is quite tannic and vinous, with a prominent vinous character, red grape must, some gentle wild yeast, lots of oak, and plenty of tannins that dry the mouthfeel out. Complex, oaky, vinous mouthfeel—really seems like a beer-wine hybrid. I really dig this.
