During harvest we made a quick trip up to the Hunter Valley to collect the skins the morning after Tim’s late-night pressing, brought them back to Marrickville and soaked them for six months on both fresh and aged Gold brewed with regenerative organic grains wholly fermented by a diversity of yeasts and bacteria collected from native flowers in NSW.

This extended maceration lends the beer both tannin and colour from this unique variety. A sparkling red (ale) fit for the Christmas table.

Label art by me.

Meesh's tasting notes: Visually you'll fall in love. The nose is super vinous, and rich. Despite the apparent sweetness of the aroma, the palate is quite structural with a nice fruit weight and a delicious tannin. A fun and flirty addition to the Christmas table.
