Barmann Cellars - Feral Fox Perry (750 mL)

Barmann Cellars - Feral Fox Perry (750 mL)
Feral Fox Perry is a sparkling coferment made using 100% estate fruit grown on Barmann Cellars' farm in Washington State's Nooksack Valley. Fox grapes from the eastern block of their winery vineyard on the southern slope of Sumas Mountain and pears from their orchard were cofermented spontaneously in neutral oak format. All fruit is handpicked by the winemakers Stephanie & Jesse; and the fruit and the co-ferment are 100% unsprayed and with no chemical additions at all (including no added sulfites). Local Honey was used during bottling to create the carbonation that you experience when sipping on this beauty. Bottled by hand with extreme care as it is sulfite & additive free.
Tasting Notes: This Perry is full of sparkle. Semi-dry from some natural pear sweetness, with pleasant levels of tannins and acidity that are well integrated. Drinks drier courtesy of the bubbles cutting through the sweetness and fruitiness. Notes of strawberry, slightly tart dark berries, perry pear, red grape skins, and notes of tropical fruit. Highly refreshing - will please a crowd ranging from those seeking a thirst quencher to those seeking a sophisticated sipper.

Barmann Cellars is a relatively new cider & wine project from our friends Stephanie & Jesse, who purchased a farm in the Nooksack Valley in Northwest Washington. Their vineyard & orchard are located on the southern slope of Sumas Mountain in the Puget Sound AVA. The farm is home to some of Whatcom County’s oldest grape vines and fruit trees. Farming practices are inspired by biodynamic and regenerative principles which aim to build soil and foster plant health in a sustainable and ecologically conscious manner. Estate grown and locally sourced fruit inputs are used for fermentation, and wines and ciders are blended and bottled with care, by hand. Steph & Jesse are passionate about natty wine & natural cider. Each year since they launched their cidery they have released a cornucopia of fun cider, perry, wine, and coferments.
