Wildflower St Edward: 2024 Montepulciano

St Edward: Montepulciano was made by blending barrel aged amber mixed culture fermentation ale with 489kg of Montepulciano from Grove Estate in Young, NSW.
After a four month maceration and refermentation of fruit and beer, it was bottled and allowed to naturally carbonate and mature for 9 months before release. Lovely, deep and bright ruby colour in the glass. Certainly more fruit-driven with a lighter Amber backbone. Initial aromas are chocolate and cherry with with mince pie fruit-spice at the back. The palate is bright and full.
