Wildflower Tendency to Rotate 2021
REGION: Marrickville, NSW
SIZE: 750ml / ABV: 5.3%
"Golden barrel aged ale aged on Montepulciano and Gamay wine grape skins from Ravensworth in Murrumbateman, NSW. Beautiful vinous aromas, aged red fruits, cranberry and plum… dusty oak and leathery cherry. A fine, intriguing, rustic earthy wine presence looms large and expectedly so. A vibrant and fresh palate. Sweet raspberry and red apple upfront before the savoury elements rush in. Skins and spice, oak and funk. The balance is striking, beer and wine elements moving in tandem and expression. Gentle and subtle but very delicious." - Topher
It's difficult to overstate the impact of Wildflower since its inception only a few years ago in 2017. Hailing from Texas, Topher Boehm has an impressive resume - from Brasserie Thiriez to Jester King to his background in astrophysics - not to mention his unique house yeast. Cultivated from foraged wildflowers native to NSW, think wattle blossoms and banksia, blended with a Belgian saison strain, creating something truly individual which speaks of place. Topher even sprayed the entire brewery with inoculated wort when he moved in, just to make sure everything was literally covered in the house culture.
