No Stone Unturned
No Stone Unturned is a semi-sweet, white vermouth. We built it around quince, a rare fruit that tastes similar to guava: floral and tropical. We used a few different processes to make No Stone Unturned: it's a culmination of years of learnings. First we put 17 bushels of quince through carbonic maceration, letting them ferment themselves in a CO2 rich environment to amplify their unique fruity/floral aroma. Then we milled the quince and soaked the pomace in spirit for a month. We used this spirit to fortify a blend of Gewürztraminer, pears, apples and plums. Finally, we steeped marigold and lemon balm to push the citrus and floral notes even further, with a mix of burdock root and dandelion leaves for subtle bitterness. What's it like?: No Stone Unturned lives in the same world as Lillet Blanc, if the fruit was dialled way up and with half the sugar of the French aperitif. Quince aroma is complex and hard to pin down—it's somewhere in between vanilla, apples, citrus and guava. Every other ingredient here elevates the quince in it's own way; Gewürtz and marigold amplify the florality. Pears dial up the vanilla, and lemon balm lifts the citrus. Plums and apples provide the acidic backbone, while the dandelions and burdock add just enough astringency to balance it all out. No Stone Unturned is thoughtful and superbly balanced: unique, rare and a damn treat. Drink it chilled on its own, or blend into any cocktail you would use Lillet in. 18% ABV | 750mL Ingredients: Quince, Gewürztraminer, Pears, Apples, Plums, Golden Plums, Marigold, Lemon Balm, Burdock Root, Dandelion Leaves. Gluten free. Wild ferment. 45g of sugar/bottle. Vegan.
Whistling in the Dark
Whistling in the Dark is a sweet red vermouth. Made with a base of apples, cherries, blueberries and De Chaunac and Gewürztraminer wine. The botanicals here are anise hyssop, yarrow, wormwood and sweetgrass. What's it like? Closer in style to traditional vermouth, Whistling in the Dark is an earthy, botanical treat. Cherry-like De Chaunac and anise hyssop dominate the aroma, while wormwood leaves a light bitterness. It's lighter than most dark vermouth, made for the European tradition of quaffing it on it's own, over ice, or with a little soda. It's great in negronis too. 16.4% ABV | 750mL Ingredients: Apples, cherries, grapes, blueberries, cane sugar, anise hyssop, yarrow, wormwood and sweetgrass. Gluten free. Wild ferment. Vegan.

Willow
We don't always wait years to release a wine, but with Willow, i'm glad we did. This blend is a reach across time; from fruit harvested in 2020, 2021, and 2022. We had no idea how special it would become. Willow is a mind-trip. Made from skin contact Seyval Blanc, Muscat Ottonel aged for years in a barrel lined with beeswax, and the juice of Golden Spice pears, organically grown and added at bottling for natural bubbles. It's a lightly sparkling pét nat (Vinho Verde or Txakoli levels of bubble) so we wrote 'perlant natural' on the label. It's glittery, not fully sparkling. What's it like? Willow drinks somewhere in between Vinho Verde, Limoncello and citrus blossoms. The vibe is fresh and floral, like a citrus orchard planted by a Basque meadow, full of bees sipping from wildflowers between the trees. Willow has an undercurrent of honey dipped magnolia flowers in both flavour and aroma. The beeswax lends perceptual sweetness, without actual sugar (it's completely dry). The soft bubbles elevate a unique floral mix: like bergamot and apple blossoms crushed on an orchard floor. It's an incredible blend, and if we could go back in time we would make so much more of it. Serve chilled. 11% ABV | 750mL Ingredients: Seyval Blanc, Muscat Ottonel, Organic Golden Spice Pears. Gluten free. Wild ferment. Zero residual sugar. Not vegan (because of the beeswax barrel).
