Wildflower Good as Gold (Blend #23)
Marrickville / Sydney // Australia
5% ABV
Good as Gold is a 50/50 blend of barrel aged Gold and fresh Gold that has just completed primary fermentation. Both the young and aged components are wholly fermented by a diversity of yeasts and bacteria collected from native flowers from NSW. Bright citrus and limey Motueka hop notes on the nose balance with structure and length from aged, oakier barrels.
The most mature barrels from Wildflower’s cellar which would benefit from the youth and aroma of a younger fermentation is blended in equal parts, bottled and allowed to naturally condition and carbonate for an additional 3 months minimum before release.
Tasting Notes: Really lovely citrus aromas backed up with dark spice and ripe fruit on the nose. The palate is noticeably unified creating a singular expression from start to finish. Bright, juicy and generous, a venerable blend of this semi-flagship.
