This sophisticated Saison captures the essence of the Ribera del Duero region, utilizing native vineyard yeast for a uniquely rustic fermentation profile. A complex grain bill of Barley, Wheat, and Oat malts creates a smooth, bready foundation that supports high-intensity aromas of white flowers and rich orchard fruits. French oak aging and lees batonage introduce elegant layers of coconut and soft spice, elevating the sensory experience beyond traditional farmhouse limits. The palate is vibrantly fruity and well-attenuated, finishing dry with a lingering floral character and a nuanced, creamy mouthfeel derived from the multi-cereal base and traditional winemaking techniques.
Appearance.5–10 SRM. Golden to pale amber. Hazy to opaque due to lees contact and high protein content from wheat and oats. Dense, long-lasting ivory head with fine lacing.
Aroma.High intensity. Complex esters of ripe peach and pear combined with spicy phenols resembling white pepper. Distinctive notes of white flowers and toasted coconut from French oak. Low grainy-sweet malt presence from barley and wheat.
Taste.Initial impression of bright pome fruit and spice. Soft, bready grain character from the barley, wheat, and oat blend. Low to moderate bitterness that allows the fruity palate and oak-driven coconut and vanilla notes to shine. Very dry finish with a lingering floral and spicy aftertaste.
Mouthfeel.Medium body, enhanced by the silkiness of oats and the textural richness of lees batonage. High carbonation provides an effervescent lift. Subtle, well-integrated alcohol warmth. Very low astringency from the oak.
