Welschriesling 2019 - Wild Ale

Welschriesling is a grape variety that produces white grapes and is particularly widespread in Central and South-Eastern Europe Due to its high, regular yield and fine aroma, it is a favorite of many winegrowers The grapes produce a floral wine that brings fruity hints of green apple and a tangy freshness to the glass

One fan of this grape variety, for example, is the Austrian winery Meinklang The Demeter farm has a sustainable concept and sees the vineyard as a biotope in which countless animal and plant species can be found On its slopes, there are not only vines, but also weeds, fruit trees, vegetable plants and herbs This natural diversity attracts beneficial insects, has a positive effect on the soil and offers a wide range of plant species.

A few liters of this carefully pressed beverage found their way into the hallowed halls of a brewery In a collaboration between Meinklang, Freigeist Bierkultur and Stillwater Artisanal, the noble drop was married with a wild ale Wild yeasts fermented the two brews into an impressive whole, that will wrap you around its finger with a gentle 6.0% alcohol content, tart grape aroma and light malt The so-called White Wine Barrel Aged Wild Ale brings white grapes, sun-ripened grain, tasty yeast and spicy wood notes into the glass
