Lunatica Wheat Wine

◎ Appearance

Deep amber to light brown, clear with fine sediment visible in the glass. A dense, creamy head forms and lingers with deliberate patience, leaving a thick ring of lacing that adheres to the glass with each sip. The body shows substantial weight and viscosity.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with warm wheat grain and soft Malz character, quickly followed by pronounced oak and vanilla from the extended barrel aging. Dark fruit notes emerge—plum and dried cherry—alongside subtle alcohol warmth that signals the wine's complexity. Subtle caramel sweetness rounds the profile without dominating.

◐ Taste

The palate enters full and smooth, with wheat malt providing a soft, pillowy foundation. Mid-palate brings pronounced oak tannins and dark stone fruit, with underlying caramel and molasses depth. At 35 IBU, bitterness is restrained; instead, the alcohol warmth and wine-barrel character create a structured, lingering complexity.

◑ Finish

The finish is long and warming, with oak and alcohol persisting gently on the palate. Residual caramel and wheat character fade slowly, leaving a dry yet rich aftertaste suited to contemplative sipping.
