THE STORY

Ruby Beet is the red counterpart to Lemon Thyme, and it goes further. In the biodynamic cellar at Ilbesheim, Sven Leiner ferments red grape juice with red beet, rosemary, sage, thyme, and bay leaf through a kombucha culture. The beet gives depth and a slight earthiness. The rosemary cuts through with resin. Sage and thyme build something herbal and warm that lingers long after the glass is empty. May throw sediment — that's fine. Goes dark. Goes deep.
