La Sirene® La Sirene Convergence 375mL – 8231845069040

Convergence is the result of our special collaboration with the iconic Bannockburn Vineyards in Bannockburn, Geelong. Barrel-fermented in 4 year old 500L puncheons from Bannockburn with an active culture of their prolific yeast, the fermentation was cool and persistent that resulted in a bright and super complex wild ale that is unmistakably Bannockburn Vineyards.

Our 2021 collaboration was modelled upon our 2019 collab which if you managed to get your hands on, is in our top 3 Wild Ales from that year. The sheer wild yeast complexity in that wild ale was near perfection in my books. The 2021 Convergence is along the same lines however with more balance in honouring the wild ale to wine ratio. There is a soft yet lingering mouthfeel that has recognisable notes of Chardonnay with a kiss of oak and finishes wonderfully dry and long. Working with Matt and the team is always inspiring and is a friendship that is forged in the pursuit of a deeper understanding of our respective crafts.
