Speciation - Sympatric (2019)

Beer/Wine Hybrid - 60% Oak Aged Golden Sour Ale/40% Vignoles Wine w/ Skin Contact - This batch of Sympatric is inspired by the natural/orange wine movement. Some of our favorite wines out there are orange wines, which are essentially white wines made with red wine production methods... namely juice to skin contact (sorry, it's not made from oranges). We crushed Vignoles grapes by foot, fermented the juice on the skins for 14 days, and then free ran the juice off to finish fermentation in oak. After a few months of aging we blended it with golden sour from our foeder.
