Still Blue
Dry, still wine from Maine wild blueberries
Still Blue is a dry table wine from a single expressive ingredient: 2.5 pounds per bottle of Maine wild blueberries raised and hand-harvested by the Passamaquoddy Wild Blueberry Co. Winemaking is minimalist and production is small.
Light chaptalization boosts the alcohol; more than a year aging in used oak barrels softens the wine’s texture and expands its overall palate expression. Vibrant, precise, floral and red-fruity…this still wine is refreshing, versatile, chillable, gulpable, delicious.
