Unique Aspect
2 vintages of 2018 and 2019 Chardonnay juice, from local vineyards, have helped create a truly delicate, and unique beverage. The tannins from the grape must and barrels, complement the complexities of the fruit, the full body and the subtle acidity balance beautifully. This is a complex hybrid of oak, local grapes and spontaneously fermented beer that is a truly unique experience.
Food Pairings
Coolship Grape is the perfect compliment to white meats and fish. Subtle warm aromatic spices from harissa are an amazing match. Try pan fried harissa shell on shrimp with pak choi and fluffy fragrant jasmine rice.
