Cider with blackcurrants, cherries and Cabernet Franc. 2023 vintage. Peas in a Pod is our very first time fermenting blackcurrants. They're a funny, delightful fruit, straddling the line between grapes, cherries and vanilla. Folks (including us) have used currants to describe Cab Franc wines—so of course we thought 'let's blend these things together'. It was the right call. What's it like?: Peas in a Pod has huge blackcurrant aromas, with underlying notes of vanilla and wildflowers. Montmorency cherries lend a sweet kind of acid, while the Cab Franc brings tannin and complexity. This bottle is the best damn 'Lambrusco' you've ever had. 7.5% ABV | $14.50 / 750mL (+deposit) Ingredients: Apples, grapes, blackcurrants, cherries. Gluten free. Zero residual sugar. Wild fermented. Unfiltered and unfined. Vegan.~$500 from this release will be donated to True North Aid, which provides support to northern indigenous communities. As most of you probably know by now, since we all breathe the same air, northern Ontario has been hit hard by wildfires this past week. True North Aid is a small charity that provides support to the indigenous communities that live there. We supported them heavily in our pandemic-era donation program, and while we don't quite have the ability to donate at the level we did then, I wanted to make sure that we're doing our part. This whole project has always been about celebrating everything that grows in Ontario, the plants and the people.
