Rosé – A Funky Zinfandel Wild Ale
5% ABV
Crafting our Funkiest Rosé is a labor of love, a symphony of flavors that dance perfectly harmoniously on your palate. From the moment those local Zinfandel grapes arrive at our brewery, we know we’re in for something special. We believe in pushing the boundaries of traditional brewing; this unique creation is a testament to that philosophy.
The journey begins with a meticulous process of selecting the finest Zinfandel grapes from the vineyards of San Marcos, where the terroir imparts a distinct character to the fruit. These grapes, bursting with local essence, become the focal point of our Mixed Fermentation Wild Ale. We take pride in the fact that we not only source our ingredients locally but also engage with the community, creating a beverage that truly reflects our surroundings.
The heart of the Funkiest Rosé lies in its patient maturation. We carefully age our brew in Oak Barrels for an entire year, allowing the flavors to intermingle and evolve. This extended aging period contributes depth and complexity, transforming the ale into a sophisticated elixir that transcends the boundaries between beer and wine.
As the ale develops in the barrels, it eagerly awaits the moment it meets the fresh Zinfandel grapes. The transfer onto the grapes marks a pivotal point in the brewing process, as the ale absorbs the essence of the fruit, creating a symbiotic relationship between the wild yeast and the grape skins. The yeast, feasting on the sugars present in the grapes, imparts a delightful level of funk and sourness to the brew, elevating it to an unmatched level of sophistication.
Pouring the Funkiest Rosé into your glass reveals a vibrant fuchsia hue, a visual celebration of the flavors that await. The color alone is enough to pique your curiosity, inviting you to explore the depths of this unconventional creation. You’ll experience a sensory journey that transcends the ordinary with your first sip. The interplay of fruity sweetness, the tartness of the wild fermentation, and the oak-infused complexity will leave an indelible mark on your taste buds.
This Rosé is not just a beverage; it’s a story in a glass, a narrative that unfolds with every sip. From the local vineyards to the oak barrels and finally to your palate, the Funkiest Rosé is a testament to our commitment to pushing the boundaries of brewing innovation. So, sip slowly, savor the funk, and join us in celebrating the artistry of craft brewing. Cheers to the Funkiest Rosé in town!
