Cornucopia Cabernet is a sophisticated, rustic hybrid that bridges the worlds of spontaneous cider and natural wine. Wildly fermented and barrel aged, this expression showcases handpicked apples alongside the vibrant character of homegrown Cabernet Jura and Pinotin grapes. The sensory profile is defined by a sharp, vinous acidity and a deep, barnyard funk characteristic of the wild fermentation process. Intense aromas of red currants and dark berries from the grapes meld with the earthy, leathery notes of the cellar. On the palate, the structured tannins from the grape skins and oak provide a bone-dry, complex finish that highlights its idyllic orchard origins.
