Fenetra

This sophisticated Saison showcases the rustic elegance of 40% organic Spelt, delivering a complex sensory journey shaped by two years of maturation in Port wine barrels. The aroma is a layered tapestry of tart stone fruits, earthy funk from the house mixed-culture fermentation, and a refined vinous quality. On the palate, deep attenuation creates a bone-dry, effervescent structure where tangy acidity meets the soft, grainy texture of the Spelt. The extended wood aging imparts subtle tannins and a remarkable, lingering vanilla finish that rounds out the bright, wild character. It is a masterful, aged expression of farmhouse tradition.

Appearance. Deep gold to amber with a slight copper hue from extended barrel aging. Hazy due to high Spelt content and mixed-culture sediment. Features a dense, long-lasting ivory head with fine Belgian lacing and persistent effervescence.

Aroma. High intensity. A complex blend of tart cherry and plum esters from Port influence, interwoven with spicy black pepper phenols and an earthy, leathery funk. Distinct grainy, rustic notes from Spelt are present, backed by a clear, sweet vanilla wood character and a hint of acetic tang.

Taste. Sharp, tangy initial impression with a clean, moderate lactic acidity. The mid-palate reveals rustic Spelt graininess and vinous dark fruit flavors. Hop bitterness is low, functionally replaced by a refreshing tartness. The finish is remarkably dry and persistent, defined by a smooth, lingering vanilla and light oak tannin aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a silky, slightly creamy texture from the high Spelt proportion. High carbonation provides an effervescent, prickly sensation. Gentle alcohol warmth is present, well-integrated with a clean, dry, and slightly mouth-watering finish.
