Grüner Veltliner | 2020 Harvest

In preparation for the New Jersey wine grape harvest in September 2020, we blended two different batches of our spontaneous base. The first component was from a portion of mature spontaneous beer brewed with buckwheat in place of wheat. The second component was from a traditional batch aged in a Moscatel cask. Freshly pressed juice from New Jersey grown Austrian white wine varietal was added to our spontaneous blend and allowed to referment in oak twelve months before racking it out of oak for bottling. This marked our first use of the elegant Grüner Veltliner grape. At release the average age of Grüner Veltliner | 2020 Harvest is 37 months. Grüner Veltliner | 2020 Harvest pours like a sparkling white wine with high carbonation that pushes a rocky white foam head. Aromatics of fresh cut grass, citron, yuzu and fresh baked brioche from extended bottle conditioning compliment the dry finish.
