Description:
Wonderbird Spirits is the result of separate but similar stories that converged around one singular goal: to make a world class gin. After two years of developing the distillery and the product, Wonderbird took flight in the Spring of 2019. North Mississippi's first distillery, Wonderbird Spirits is an eight minute drive south of Oxford on Old Taylor Road. Wonderbird is the brainchild of friends and co-owners Chand Harlow, Rob Forster, and Thomas Alexander, who set out to produce a spirit paying homage to the rich agricultural landscape of Mississippi.
Wonderbird gins are fermented using Mississippi Delta rice to make the base spirit. The approach, which borrows from traditional sake making, sets a beautifully clean foundation for layering subtly complex flavors and aromas. The flagship product, #61 gin took home two gold medals at the 2020 San Francisco Spirit awards. These are remarkably elegant grain-to-glass gins, perfect for martinis or sipped neat. We are tremendously excited to introduce them to the Bowler portfolio!

Description:
Xavier Barbet and his brother Nicolas Barbet, manage this Moulin-a-Vent winery together. The fruit comes from four-hectares spread over several parcels - Champs de Cour, La Roche, le Moulin, le Clos, Perreins and Brouilleres. The grapes are mostly destemmed and fermentation happens in large conical-shaped (tronconique) wooden fermenters and some are placed in cement tronconique tanks. The tronconique shape gives more skin contact for a long and slow extraction. Fermentation lasts seven to ten days and is followed by a maceration totalling four weeks. Next the wines go by gravity into barrels and demi-muids, new to eight years old for aging. Moulin-a-Vent is considered to be the richest Cru in Beaujolais and the longest lived.
