Honey Badger is magical elixir of Syrah and Grenache. In 2008, the must was fermented to 12 brix, pressed and placed in barrel and lost in our barrel room. 10 years passed and the barrel emerged. With a bit of trepidation, we peeked in and were amazed at what we tasted. It had shed it color and taken on the characteristics of a Aussie Tawny. We placed it in a fresh barrel to round out it’s elevage. Now 13 years later we present to you this special very limited treat of a wine. Notes of pineapple upside down cake, marzipan and cardamom lure you in to a palate of butterscotch, maple and blood orange. The finish last for well over a minute. Enjoy on its own as the peak of the meal or serve with pineapple upside down cake of course! 300 bottles produced. This is our tip of the hat to Eric Jensen, founder of Booker Vineyard and know by his peers as “The Badger”.
