We made a wine from Cabernet Jura grapes that we grew ourselves at the brewery. After primary fermentation, we added the wine to a beer we brewed six months earlier. They were aged for eight more months in the barrel together. At bottling, we blended this beer with another beer aged on the skins of our other red grape varieties (Pinot Noir, Pinotin and Regent).

Bottle pour into a taster glass.
Murky red wine appearance with very little head to speak of. Nose and taste is dry wine, Cabernet, grape skin. Mouthfeel is moderate body and carbonation, long dry finish.

Pours purple-ember in color, with a noisy pinkish head, which immediately vanishes.
Smells of a lighter, leathery tartness, together with fermented grape skins and toasty fruit piths among a sweeter, well developed fruitiness.
Has a lighter to medium body to it, featuring a refreshing carbonation, while the beer maintains a certain softness.
Tastes of an unforseen red grape complexity, featuring a moldy aspect, reminiscent of fermented, matured grapes, which goes very well with the leathery tartness of the beer. There is an almost smoky pith quality in here as well, which is getting amped up by a sweet, yet not yammy berry rich- and sweetness, powerful and pungent, while the other flavors are still able to add in, creating a very well balanced, complex drinking beer. This finishes almost slightly bitter, resulting from the mashed grapes in this, gently balanced by an ongoing fruit sweetness, wrapped up by a light and pleasant tartness, leading to a long going, versatile aftertaste.
Is this still beer, or is it wine? I don‘t know, but this tastes great, exhibiting a perfect marriage between a great beer and a very tasty wine. This is more intense than any Cantillon grape Lambic I‘ve had so far, with a fantastic balance and funk backbone to it, creating a truly complex and delicious beer.

Bottle. Pink head that fades. Dark ruby color.
Very wine forward. Beautiful blend of wine and beer. Red grapes, tannins, oak. A faint acidity. Very dry. Earthy with dark red fruits.
Another incredible blend by Tom. This bottle drinks too easily. All of a sudden my 750 was empty.
