2019
50% Marquette, 17% Brianna and 33% Wild Apples
The grapes were hand picked from the Mad Meadows Vineyard between September and October 2019 and the wild apples were harvested between October and November from Canamack Farm. Both grapes varieties were fermented and foot crushed whole cluster separately. After the wild apples were milled, the pulp underwent a week long maceration. The Marquette & Brianna co-fermented and aged in demijohn. In the late spring/early summer of 2020 we blended the Marquette, Brianna, and Wild apples and organic maple syrup was added to the still base wine of the Marquette, Brianna, and Wild apples to start a second alcoholic fermentation. The wine was bottled to finish under cap as a traditional method sparkling wine. Native yeast fermentation. No sulfur additions, fining, filtering, or funny business in the winery, just fucking fermented juice. Organic.
