M&J Becker Wines Eau de Vie
Regular price $102.00
From aromatic varietals sourced entirely at the Ablington Vineyard, certified organic as of 2019 and farmed by James Becker. Since the great success & intrigue that last year's 'Pinche' agave based spirit afforded, James has grown more and more interested in the art of distillation. Sadly, the Blue Agave is no longer available so a natural progression towards distilled wine came into focus, with the guidance of close friend Shane Casey (Head Distiller at Brix, Surry Hills). "Put shit in, get shit out" was the underlying message from Shane, so 1300L of base wine was produced for the sole production of high-end spirit. Wild fermented without adjustment in neutral French oak, the resulting wine was then double pot distilled and bottled by hand. Only 350 bottles made. - Dan Simmons, distributor
