Still Blue
Dry, still wine from Maine wild blueberries
Still Blue is a dry table wine from 2.5 pounds per bottle of Maine wild blueberries raised and hand-harvested by Brodis Wild Blueberries. Winemaking is minimalist and production is small. More than a year aging in used oak barrels softens the wine’s texture and expands its overall palate expression without tempering its upbeat energy or weighing it down. It’s a vibrant, floral, savory and red-fruity wine, refreshing, versatile, chillable, gulpable, delicious.
