Murmurations is our 10th anniversary release. After a decade of fermenting everything under the Ontario sun, my heart feels like a museum of memories and love for all the life that grows here. Each bottle feels that way too. We foraged these tiny pears from trees that were nearly 80 ft. tall—over 200 years old, growing on a farm in Rockwood, ON. The apples are Brown's, a heritage apple that originated in Devon, England. No feeling is final, just like no fruit, or flower is either. I love the way the light falls on leaves in the summer dusk. Skins of every fruit I've touched haunt my memory. What's it like? The wild pears lend a sweet aroma—like pralines in brown butter, or Turkish delight. Restrained acidity leaves room for the staccato tannins of the apples and pears. Our oak puncheon takes a backseat, mild vanilla and Adriatic salinity are a textural counterpoint. Murmurations is a joy — drink as an aperitif or pair with salty oysters (my favourite). Breathe in the earth and feel the fruit between your fingers. It's all so gorgeous. Murmurations is bottled on lees—which means there is some sediment in each bottle. If you prefer bottles without sediment, we recommend purchasing something else. 6.8% ABV | 750mL Ingredients: Pears, Apples. Gluten free. Zero residual sugar. Wild fermented. Vegan.
