Wine Grape Wild Ale

Ken and Melanie Suazo grow Merlot grapes from old Spanish rootstock right here in Española, and they’ve generously shared their harvest. We destemmed, macerated, and pressed them, then brewed a Franco-Belgian style table beer onto the spontaneous fermentation of wild yeast from the grapeskins. Hazy golden with a faint pink hue when held to the light. Grainy, fruity, farmhousy hints of black pepper, clove, and a tannic red wine bouquet which is somehow both delicate and robust.
