Loft Red Two Ways: Cork vs Stelvin

You’ve tasted Loft Red… but have you tasted it two years later under two different closures?

We bottled Loft Red (Chambourcin) under natural cork and Stelvin screwcap—and after two years, they’ve evolved into two noticeably different expressions.

This is Session #1 at the winery in our limited series. We’ll taste blind first, then reveal which is cork vs Stelvin, walk through what changed (aroma, texture, finish), and finish with a vote: Team Cork vs Team Stelvin.

What to expect (90 minutes):

• Welcome + quick story behind the closure experiment
• Blind side-by-side tasting: Loft Red (Cork) vs Loft Red (Stelvin)
• Reveal + guided discussion
• Vote moment + Q&A
• Optional bottle sales afterward (limited)

Included with your ticket:

• Guided, seated tasting experience
• Side-by-side pours of Loft Red under both closures
• One additional Fence Stile pour for context / palate reset
• Light snack
• “Team Cork vs Team Stelvin” vote moment
