Crafted from a California Grüner Veltliner white wine base, fortified with local neutral grape spirit, sweetened with cane sugar (55 g/L), and finished with sea salt. Developed in collaboration with Fishwife Tinned Seafood Co. using Spanish Cantabrian anchovies alongside shiitake mushroom, fish sauce, burdock root, wild cherry bark, angelica root, orange peel, and dandelion root. Botanicals undergo individual 4-week macerations in high-proof spirit before being blended with wine and fish sauce for one week, then clarified using a proprietary racking process.
Offers briny aromas of cured anchovy, olive tapenade, and sea spray alongside herbal, shiitake, and orange zest notes, presenting a round, savory, sherry-like oxidized palate. 18% ABV
