Elliott Bay - Spontaneous: Syrah '18

The second release from the 2018 harvest season, this spontaneous brew used hundreds of pounds of de-stemmed syrah grapes from our friends at Cuillin Hill Winery in Woodenville, as the sole innoculant for this beer/wine hybrid. We used the native culture of yeast and bacteria growing on the fruit skins to ferment our golden base in used red wine barrels. The effect is a product that is completely unique to the land where the grapes grew. Aromas of Sour rosé wine, blackberries, oak, jam.
