About this wine
ibi Wines is the wine project of the Revel Cider team in Guelph, Ontario, the cidery and fermentery founded by Tariq Ahmed in 2014 while he was a Plant Sciences student at the University of Guelph. ibi's working model is to combine farm-grown and foraged Ontario fruit with native-yeast fermentation in the cidery's existing tanks, exploring what Ontario terroir produces when handled like a French natural-wine estate would handle it. Adora NV is the project's red, built around fruit sourced and fermented within Ontario; given Revel's foraging and blending approach, exact composition shifts release-to-release. Native-yeast fermentation, no additives, low-intervention throughout. 12% alcohol; a Canadian natural-wine expression for accounts wanting non-French, non-Italian options.
Winemaking
Native-yeast (indigenous) fermentation, allowing the organisms naturally present on the fruit and within the cidery to drive the ferment. Low-intervention cellar; no additives. Combines farm-grown and foraged Ontario fruit.
