From the Brewery;
A blend of barrel-aged golden mixed culture beers with strawberries
6.1% ABV
Wild Beer Release: 032
We ain’t seen anything so pretty as the opaque, perfectly ruddy rose gold contained in these bottles. And, lucky for everyone, it tastes just as stunning. This blend of barrel-aged mixed culture beers smacks of freshly picked, perfectly ripe strawberries. Basically, it’s a dream of summer realized in winter.
Strawberries, while singularly tasty, can be terribly tricky to brew with. But sometimes, the trickiest ingredients make for the treatiest beers, so it just made sense to brew this to be 40% strawberries by weight. First, we selected three different base beers to experiment with: one Lambic-inspired, one a mixed culture Saison, and one a Brett Saison. Then we refermented each barrel on the fruit in isolation before blending the three to taste—and taste they do! Turns out, individually hand-processing a whole pallet of strawberries until 1 am pays off.
In addition to the strawberries that are the absolute star of this show, those who drink of Rare Hearts will be treated to balancing beats of pleasantly bitter hops, subtle acidity, and just enough funk to keep things spunky. Get your hands on a bottle of this atypical libation or try a spurt of it in our taproom.
Radford Dale Pinot Noir
$54.99
An organic estate in Elgin, around 40 miles southeast of Cape Town. Elgin is a very different climate to Stellenbosch, where the rest of their wines are made, a particularly critical factor for organic farming. ‘Our biggest challenge is mother nature. Living on a knife edge in a high-rainfall, cool climate region such as Elgin is not good for the nerves.’ says Alex Dale. ‘It would have been safer to farm organically in warmer areas, such as the Swartland or even Stellenbosch. But for the style of wines we like – more refined, fresh and balanced – Elgin is where we want to be, so the risks are far higher. The next biggest challenge is financial, as your production and your financial viability is constantly threatened by weather incidents, throughout the year. We also do a lot of work manually, especially in our high-density vines, so the tougher the conditions meteorologically, the more manual labour involved in the vineyards.’
