Wilderness Gothic Vidal
Fresh Vidal grape juice added to a barrel-fermented saison, straw-coloured and dry in the glass. Honey and white grape lead, with pithy grapefruit and lemon behind them and a subtle acidity running through. Wheat malt gives a light, grainy softness, and the long spell in wood leaves a dry, faintly oaky finish. Locally grown Cascade adds only a quiet floral lift.
