Ripasso Rosso & Ripasso Bianco | Discover Series

$40.00

Blurring the boundary between wild fermented wine and beer.

Ripasso is a winemaking technique where wine is re-fermented on grape skins to give it added depth and intensity. For our Ripasso, we’ve applied this concept to beer instead; fermenting a classic farmhouse ale on skins from our friends at Tyrrell's Wines.

Primary ferment was followed by four months maturation in 2000L French Oak Foudres alongside a Brett-dominant wild yeast blend. Layers of delicately balanced malt, citrus and spice intertwine with gentle acidity and fruit character from grapes; all of which is underpinned by savoury French oak and funk from the Brett, blurring the boundary between wild fermented wine and beer.

Each order will include:

  • 1 x 375ml bottle of Ripasso Rosso (6.1% ABV)
  • 1 x 375ml bottle of Ripasso Bianco (6.1% ABV)

Ripasso Rosso 2019 was brewed using post-ferment Four Acres Shiraz marc, from vines planted in 1879.  

Ripasso Bianco 2019 was brewed using Belford Single Vineyard Chardonnay marc, from vines planted in 1991.Â
