Bottled during active fermentation in the ancestral method, the wine finishes in bottle, building its effervescence naturally and releasing as the fresh wine of the harvest. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2024 Morphos is a hazy, low-alcohol pét-nat that wears its hybrid origins proudly. The wine is bright, nervy, and tasting distinctly of a place where summer is short and acidity runs deep. It opens with aromas of green apple, lemon curd, and white peach, lifted by a flinty, almost cider-like minerality. On the palate, it is crisp and lively, with snappy acidity, fine persistent bubbles, a faint yeasty breadiness mid-palate, and a clean, bone-dry finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePairing\u003c\/strong\u003e: Raw oysters with mignonette, a lobster roll with just butter on a toasted split-top bun, fresh goat cheese on rye crispbread with cucumber and dill, or a bucket of steamers eaten dockside on a gray Maine afternoon.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Puget Street Imports","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45870263599300,"sku":null,"price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0727\/0350\/8676\/files\/DSCF1892-Morphos.png?v=1776815019","url":"https:\/\/offsetbottleshop.com\/products\/2024-oyster-river-morphos-white","provider":"Offset Bottle Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
