Texas Harvest | Freetail Brewing Co.
ABV: 9.0%
Style: American Wild Ale
Actively Produced
Description: Texas Harvest is the fruit of our collaboration with good friends at a picturesque Hill Country winery. We chose one of their signature grape varietals, a 2016 harvest Tannat from Reddy Vineyards in Brownfield, TX and blended the must with 18-month-old-Ananke then re-fermented, then blend for 4 months in Charbono barrels. Inoculated with the oenologist’s worst nightmare–Brettanomyces bruxellensis and Pediococcus damnoisis–the resultant soft acides blend effortlessly with the smooth tannin character from the Tenna. A blend of tobacco, cherry and oak fill the bouquest, augmented through this inspired secondary barrel fermentation then bottle-finished with Champagne yeast. Texas Harvest also finished as one of our strongest wild ales.
