V. trilobum 2023
Marzae Sauvage wines are inspired by the edible flora & fauna of New England. V. trilobum (highbush cranberry) had to be one of our labels since it doesn’t get much more Massachusetts than cranberries! We couldn’t think of a better pairing for it than a super juicy sparkling pink wine. Skip the Cape Codder and grab a bottle of V. trilobum instead!

Winemakers Notes: We lost a truly tragic amount of this wine from equipment failure resulting in burst bottles, so cherish the delicious bottles that remain. Turns out the crown capper came with the wrong crimping head attached and it took us a month to figure it out. The higher pressure of this wine relative to E. leei meant more bottles popped from the mix-up whenever there were fluctuations in winery temperature. Anyways, we’re big fans of rule-breaking wines and this is one of those—I mean what do you decide to call a wine that has red wine, rose, and white wine as components? We wanted a super juicy pink pet nat so decided to have some fun with it and use some unusual elements we thought would work nicely together, and the results speak for themselves!
