Handcrafted from our Ontario wildflower honey and local yeast, this unfiltered, all-natural wine is refreshingly unique.
Crafted in the ancestral Col Fondo ("with the bottom") style, it undergoes its natural fermentation directly in the bottle, leaving the native yeast sediment inside for added depth and texture. Sparkling with fine bubbles, it offers warm honey and pollen notes and a crisp, balanced, sulphite-free finish. Naturally gluten free.
Perfect with charcuterie, cheese boards, on a picnic, or as a celebratory toast.
ABV 12%
Handcrafted in small batches, each bottle has its own charm, with gentle variations in colour and flavour.
Serving Tips:
Serve well-chilled.
Our col fondo is naturally lively and may foam a little—this is normal. Open slowly to help minimize overflow.Natural sediment is part of the charm of this unfiltered col fondo:
-
For more texture: Very gently invert the bottle a couple times to mix in the sediment before opening (don’t shake).
-
For a clearer pour: Let the bottle sit upright for several hours or overnight to allow the sediment to settle. Pour slowly, leaving the last bit in the bottle.
