Vin Folie Grenache is a 100% wild fermented Farmhouse Ale Co-fermented with South Australian Grenache grapes. It was like doing ‘a ferment within a ferment’ and the result is a pink stained wild yeast focused ale that has juicy Grenache grape characters with a funky and raw mid-palate and very dry finish that blurs the lines between wine & beer. Refreshingly well-attenuated and juicy.

Bottle shared at Cotteridge Convention 2018 - cheers all! Pours cloudy, very pale yellow with a foamy, white head. The aroma holds lemon and white grape. Light sweet flavour, moderately acidic, more lemon, nips of peach. Light to medium bodied with fine carbonation. Quenching finish, tart and somewhat jammy, more lemony notes. Good stuff on the whole.

Bottle shared at Cotteridge get together. Funky vinous aroma. Cloudy pale gold. Thin white head. Moreish sour tang. Thin. Slick. Average carbonation. Astringent finish. More of a sipper but it still went down well.
