Peach & Grüner Veltliner | 2020 Harvest

In September 2020 we received our first pressing of some New Jersey grown and harvested Grüner Veltliner juice. In preparation for the blend, our team chose a barrel of mature 2-year-old buckwheat spontaneously fermented beer and a younger traditionally brewed spontaneously fermented beer. After marrying the juice with our spontaneously fermented beer, we allowed the blend to referment and mature in oak with the addition of that year's New Jersey yellow peach harvest for an additional year. Peach & Grüner Veltliner was then bottled and conditioned for a year and a half prior to release. The total average age of Peach & Grüner Veltliner 2020 Harvest is just over 3 years at release. Peach & Grüner Veltliner | 2020 Harvest pours a light peach color and is brimming with fresh, juicy peach aromatics. The Grüner Veltliner shows through in the lean, crisp body of the beer that is enhanced with a sparkling high carbonation lending notes of fresh sliced apples, honey, and ginger.
