Herein awaits an amber-hued, apple-grape wine made by merging 40% Vermont-grown grapes and 60% foraged cider apples. In 2016 we purchased destemmed white grapes from our friends at Lincoln Peak Vineyard of New Haven, VT. We placed half the berries into an open-top vessel to macerate and pressed the other half immediately. This wine contains both of these fermentations blended with a medley of multi-vintage cider barrels. Half of the final blend was used for our previously released sparkling wine, Leo, while its sister, Leela, was allowed to age for 6 months in barrel and another year in bottle. Her namesake is a sanskrit word symbolizing the divine play of consciousness and the dynamic interplay of all elements in the Universe. 2015/16
