Wildflower "St Florence" Riesling 2020 (375ml)
Producer: Wildflower brewery X Ravensworth
Region: New South Wales X Canberra (ACT)
Brewer / Winemaker: Topher Boehm X Bryan Martin
Varietal(s): Australian Wild Ale X Riesling
St Florence 2020: Riesling is an Australian Wild Ale refermented with white wine grapes.
Tasting notes: Lovely bright nose, citrus pops, herb garden (provance), minerality, mild smoke. Flavours of lemon soda, chalky minerality and earthy spice.
St Florence is named after Topher and his wife's first daughter. Saint Florence was a 7th century abbess from Cartagena, Spain. In 2020, this variant was made from golden mixed fermentation, barrel aged beer and 500kg of hand picked smoke affected Riesling grapes from Ravensworth Wines in Murrumbateman, NSW.
St Florence was made in a method we have come to adopt for wine grape beer refermentations. The organic 'smoke tainted' fruit for this beer comes from Bryan Martin's Ravensworth vineyard in Murrumbaetman. After being hand picked on 12 March, we put the fruit into a three week carbonic maceration before racking barrels 1862 (22 month old Gold) onto the semi-fermenting fruit on 1 April 2020. The beer and grapes macerated and refermented together for three+ months. The grape beer was then transferred off the fruit and washed with barrels 1829 (4 month old Gold), 1850 (4 month old Gold) and 1859 (4 month old Gold) before bottling on 20 August 2020 and allowed to condition in bottle for 8 months before release.

Wildflower "Wattle Drops" 2020 (750ml)
Producer: Wildflower brewery
Region: New South Wales
Brewer / Winemaker: Topher Boehm
Varietal(s): Australian Wild Ale X Golden Wattle
Bright Side: Gamay is an Australian Wild Ale made with smoke tainted grapes
When Topher and the team at Wildflower talk about 'wild' yeast, they're not messing about. This golden, foudre-aged ale was fermented solely using wild yeast and bacteria from freshly-picked Wattle blossoms from 'Carawatha' in Gerringong, NSW. With aromatics of melon and nectarine, a subtle funk, ripe citrus, sweet stone fruit, and a pithy finish - this is incredibly refreshing.

Wildflower "St Phoebe" Plum 2021 (750ml)
Producer: Wildflower brewery
Region: New South Wales
Brewer / Winemaker: Topher Boehm
Varietal(s): Australian Wild Ale X Plum
"In 2021, St Phoebe was made by blending barrel aged golden mixed culture fermentation ale with 996kg of fresh, tree ripened Ebony Sun plums hand picked from Thornbrook Orchard in Nashdale, NSW.
At this month of release, we reckon it bursts open with spice aromas, cinnamon quill and star anise. Red fruits follow, sweet red apple, cranberries and grape. Red creaming soda and candy floss lift the nose at the end. The palate is soft and full. Fruit sweetness runs the length. There’s ripe plum, spiced apple and vinous undertones. The cooking spices play across the palate and work in tandem with savoury oak. Simple but”

Wildflower "St Walter" Black Muscat 2020 (375ml)
Producer: Wildflower brewery X Thornbrook Orchard
Region: New South Wales X Orange (NSW)
Brewer / Winemaker: Topher Boehm
Varietal(s): Australian Wild Ale X Black Muscat
St. Walter 2020 is an Australian Wild Ale refermented with red wine grapes.
Tasting notes: At release, we see big aromatics of rosewater, turkish delight and sweet lolly. The palate is fresh but without the cloying flavours you would assume from these aromatics. Light grippiness with a fresh concord grape, vitis labrusca finish. Lots of energy and fruit in what is a very enjoyable beer to drink.
This is a new name for a second year cuvee for us. When my son Walter was born I had to make a decision between making beer with a new fruit or splitting up the wine grapes to spread out Florence's growing reign over the fruit beers... I think she had four variants last year which was just a little unfair. Well, the latter was the choice and as such I have kept the white wine grapes with Flo (the inaugural 2017 release was with Sauvignon Blanc) and Walter will be namesake for the red wine grapes.
St Walter was made in a method we have come to adopt for wine grape beer refermentations. The fruit for this beer comes from an old plot of table grapes at Thornbrook Orchard in Nashdale, NSW. After being hand picked on 25 March, we put the fruit into a three week carbonic maceration before racking two barrels (1904 & 1736) of aged Gold onto the semi-fermenting fruit on 16 April 2020. The beer and grapes macerated and refermented together for just under three months. The grapey beer was then transferred off the fruit and washed with barrels 1863, 1601, 1712, 1605 and 1814 of aged Gold before bottling on 29 July 2020 and allowed to condition in bottle for 18 weeks before release.

Wildflower "Zibeerbo" Zibbibo 2020 (375ml)
Producer: Wildflower brewery X Brash Higgins
Region: New South Wales X McLaren Vale (South Australia)
Brewer / Winemaker: Topher Boehm X Brash Higgins
Varietal(s): Australian Wild Ale X Zibbibo
Zibeerbo is a golden barrel-matured Australian Wild Ale aged with Muscat of Alexandria (Zibibbo) skins after six months in terracotta amphora from our friends at Brash Higgins, McLaren Vale SA.
Tasting notes: Upon release, it's nose is reminiscent of sweet pineapple and melon balanced by lifted lemon sherbet and sweet candy. Gentle skinsy spice gives wonderful lift. The palate carries the pineapple motif with bitter orange fruit, layered with gentle phenolics and tempered acidity create a lovely harmony. Flavoursome and familiar.
While every wine in the range is precise and balanced, one stood out to me in particular, the ZBO. With huge aromas, it reminded me so much of our Gold and a few hops in particular. I knew I had to get back in touch, and on a trip to Adelaide in early 2017, I visited BH HQ for the first time at the Omensetter Vineyard in the McLaren. It was on that visit we hatched a plan to marry this wine with our beer.
The wine is unique itself, so this was never going to be a case of a simple refermentation. Brad describes the making of the wine in 2020 as: "Hand picked, the golf ball sized, bronze fruit was destemmed into waiting terracotta amphorae. A wild ferment ensued with the caps hand plunged twice daily until the ferment finished and the skins sank into the wine. The skins, seeds and juice remained covered in situ for six months. A natural FLOR layer of yeast volunteers itself and covers and helps protect the wine. The ‘free run’ was siphoned off in Spring and combined with the pressings. The wine settles before being racked and sent to bottle unfiltered and unfined."
Instead of marrying fresh fruit and aged beer, we blended the pressed skins out of the amphora, after that 6 month fermentation/ageing in clay with both barrel aged Gold and some young Gold. The beer then aged and slowly fermented, getting drier for 4 months in contact with the skins. We bottled this blend on 16 December 2020 and allowed it to travel through maturation and natural carbonation in bottle for 16 weeks.
