Wildflower Brewing & Blending - Jaune D'or (2024)

The big sibling of the 2023 release, second use barrel, but over 4x the amount of time in barrel. Jaune d’Or 2024 was made with oak aged ales brewed with organic red wheat and organic heritage barley wholly fermented by a diversity of yeasts and bacteria collected from native flowers from NSW. One ale was rested for one year in a barrel which once held untopped house-made native fermentation Chardonnay wine with fruit from Murray Smith of Canoblas Smith in Orange NSW for four years resulting in an oxidative environment giving rise to a natural apera yeast flor. Following the decanting of this barrel for last year’s version of this same beer, we racked a mature barrel from our cellar and allowed it to rest for a futher year before blending a portion of well oaked ale for bottling
