Production Details Wein am Limit describes two days of maceration under air-excluded conditions, approximately two weeks of spontaneous fermentation, and ten months in used oak barrels. Its technical table reports residual sugar below 1 g/L and a recommended serving range of 14–16°C. A seminar report quoting grower Ken Swegles describes 100% carbonic fermentation, four days in an argon-sealed tank, pressing at 2° Brix, and then ten months in neutral French oak. The two-day maceration and four-day sealed-tank descriptions may describe different stages, but the sources do not reconcile them.
Tasting Notes Wein am Limit's 2024 note describes wild strawberry, red cherry, fresh blueberry, licorice-like spice, very soft tannins, mineral acidity, and a fragrant earthy finish.
Food Pairing Andouillette, tablier de sapeur, burgers, Sloppy Joe, or a mildly spiced red-lentil chili.
