For the Billies beer fest (coming up in Nov) I was keen to send something in line with what we do, but also, given its a festival, something that had a strong presence, even with just a little sip. The bergamot and cardamom pods do the heavy lifting on the finished beer here with a background of cabernet richness and tannin. Its sort of like a supercharged rosé at this stage. Very punchy and alluring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eSimilar to the Golden Hour beer, I'll be keen to let this sit and would recommend another 3+ months ageing on this before you crack in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eLabel artwork by Florence, 7.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e750ml, ABV: 6.1%\u003cbr\u003eApproximately 3.6 Standard Drinks\u003cbr\u003eBottled: Aug 2025\u003cbr\u003eBest Before: Aug 2029\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003ePrice: N\/A\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e------------------------\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eEach member will receive 1 x 750ml bottle of \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eClos de Billy 2025 as part of their membership.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, sans-serif;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px; font-weight: 400;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eWe have no additional bottles available.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Wildflower Brewing \u0026 Blending","offers":[{"title":"750ml","offer_id":46494253121705,"sku":"basketpressbottle","price":38.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1665\/9059\/files\/clos.png?v=1762376656","url":"https:\/\/wildflowerbeer.com\/products\/clos-de-billy-2025","provider":"Wildflower Brewing \u0026 Blending","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
