St Phoebe 2022: Mariposa, Moonacres

St Phoebe is an ale made with plums. It is named for Chris and Emily’s eldest daughter.

St Phoebe 2022: Mariposa, Moonacres was made by blending barrel aged golden mixed culture fermentation ale with 60kg of fresh, whole, tree ripened, organic Mariposa plums from Moonacres Farm in Fitzroy Falls, NSW. After a 5 month maceration and refermentation of fruit and beer, it was bottled and allowed to naturally carbonate and mature there before release.

"Beguiling nose of spices cinnamon, nutmeg and allspice. Sweet red berries and poached fruits. There's a confectionery element too which gently transitions to vinous dusty oak. A surprisingly more savoury palate. Present are the sweet spices but more forward is the vinous dry red fruits of raspberry and plum. There’s orange citrus, ginger and clove. The oak gives a wonderful dimension, facilitating such complex vinous characteristics. Gentle acidity to end an incredibly satisfying beer." - Luke.
