From Garage Project’s Wild Workshop comes a masterclass in fruit-driven wild fermentation. Inoculated with Wellington’s native airborne microflora and matured in large-format oak puncheons, this spontaneous ale is conditioned on a generous dose of iconic New Zealand Black Doris plums. It pours a deep, luminous garnet with a lively mousse, leading with aromas of spiced plum skin, rustic cellar funk, sour red cherries, and toasted French oak. On the palate, a mouthwatering, laser-sharp acidity cuts through rich, fleshy stone fruit, bringing forward tart cassis, gentle wood tannins, and lingering farmyard complexity. Clocking in at 8.5% ABV, it finishes remarkably dry, vinous, and clean.
