Wildflower Brewing & Blending St Henry 2021
Other Styles 5.7 º
St Henry 2021 is an elegant Australian Wild Ale that showcases the exquisite synergy between a barrel-aged golden mixed culture base and 1060kg of fresh, tree-ripened Robada apricots. The sensory profile is defined by a vibrant, sun-drenched stone fruit intensity that harmonizes with the rustic, earthy complexity of the brewery's signature fermentation. Subtle oak tannins from the barrel maturation provide a sophisticated structure, while the Brettanomyces-driven attenuation ensures a bone-dry finish. This vintage captures the essence of the Kelso orchard, balancing succulent fruit flesh with delicate notes of hay, wildflowers, and a refreshing, bright acidity that enlivens the palate.
Appearance. Deep gold with luminous apricot-orange highlights; moderate white head with fair retention and fine-beaded lacing; slight haze typical of a whole-fruit addition.
Aroma. High intensity aromatics of jammy Robada apricots and floral honey; secondary notes of earthy Brettanomyces funk, including wet hay and dusty cellar, supported by a hint of vanilla-scented oak.
Taste. Initial impression is a burst of fresh apricot flesh and tart skin, followed by a lean, cracker-like malt profile. The fermentation character is complex but integrated, offering earthy and leathery notes with minimal hop bitterness. It features a bright, refreshing acidity rather than sharp sourness. The finish is remarkably dry and crisp, with a lingering essence of sun-ripened fruit and soft wood tannins.
Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with high, effervescent carbonation providing a lively, spritzy mouthfeel. Alcohol warmth is low and well-integrated; a very light tannic astringency from the fruit skins and barrels adds pleasant structure.
