Product Details - $30

  • Re-hydrated blackcurrants fermented on champagne yeast with French marigold. Fermented dry, pressed off, back sweetened with fresh blackcurrant juice and bolstered with a teeny bit of lemongrass then secondary (tertiary?) fermentation in the bottle. The result is a 9% abv picnic wine that’s drinking like a super dry Lambrusco. Earthy and girthy without losing that characteristic blackcurrant brightness, and a little peppery grassy element from the marigold. Nice bubble nothing crazy.

  • Looking for ways to minimize any waste related to our production is core to our mission of being responsible environmental stewards. From how we source, to creating secondary infusions and distillations, to giving pressed currants to our friends at Left Bank and Rose Hill to use in coferments, to composting organic materials with Ozone.

  • Cassette is a limited release product, crafted in very small batches of fewer than 150 bottles. There are several iterations and explorations that highlight botanicals grown in our garden.
