Bardos "Saint Cabora" Grape & Apple Cider (2021)

TASTING NOTES

A co-ferment of apples and grapes, designated as an apple-grape wine. 

Earthy, with dried & candied red berries. Thirst quenching with just a light prickle of bubbles on the palate. Closer to still, than sparkling. 

The dry fermented cider was poured over the pomace of fresh pressed grapes and left to macerate.

From the field blend vineyards of Bucklin and Bedrock wines, both proponents of non-irrigated old vineyards in Sonoma.

Santa Teresa de Cabora also known as the “Mexican Joan of Arc'', was a healer and figure who traveled through Northern Mexico and the US around the end of the 1800s. She was exiled from Mexico as a political insurrectionist, but was seen as a Saint by the people who followed her, as she advocated for the Indigenous and poor. Her story acts as a metaphor and guide to restoring our crucial relationship with the land.
