Kunin Project Blend #2

Born through the friendship between a brewer and a winemaker, Kunin Project Blend #2 is a Saison fermented with the natural yeast and microflora of Chenin Blanc pomace from Kunin Wines.

During wine grape harvest a few years ago, we brewed a batch of our base Saison while our friends at Kunin Wines pressed their Chenin Blanc. The freshly pressed Chenin Blanc skins were added to the Saison wort, kicking off a vigorous fermentation. After a month, the beer was transferred to French oak barrels, where it aged for one year. The following harvest, a second addition of higher-acid Chenin Blanc pomace was added, extending the Saison’s time on the skins and in barrels for another year.

Bottle conditioned and cellared for deep flavor development, this Saison offers notes of white grape, ripe pear, apricot, oak vanillin, and orange wine, layered with gentle acidity, wine-like minerality, and a distinct tannic structure.
