culminate grand cru: Merlot

Culminate Grand Cru: Merlot is a complex lambic-inspired ale aged spontaneously for 20 to 42 months. Conditioned on Merlot grapes in red wine barrels, it presents a rich interplay of vinous and sour notes. The aroma offers a layered blend of tart cherry, dark berry, and subtle oak. On the palate, it combines bright acidity with deep fruitiness, balanced by earthy funk and a dry, slightly tannic finish. At 9.8% ABV, this ale is full-bodied with a smooth yet lively mouthfeel, showcasing a unique fusion of wild fermentation and wine-like character.
