Aged in two different types of fresh Chardonnay Wine barrels for 5 months, Elevation’s Signal de Botrange Saison blooms with funky farmhouse refreshment and spiced vanilla-oak complexity. Pair it with a wedge of brie and a fresh-baked baguette, and you’ll have friends lining up to crash your classy summertime picnic.

By aging for 5 months in Chardonnay barrels from Moshin Vineyards in CA and Denver’s Infinite Monkey Theorem (featured in The Wall St Journal, Paste, and USA Today) Signal was brewed to impress. Elevation swaps the tart apple notes found in many white wines to focus on a different side of Chardonnay: smooth vanilla-bean character punctuated by coriander and orange peel. Another sip of this 9.8% ABV luxury brings flavors of candied apricot and baked pears, before a crisp, bone-dry finish.

Though it was crafted in the tradition of the Farmhouse beers of the Wallonia region of Belgium, Signal and its use of American Chardonnay barrels lend a distinctly new-world twist. Soft on the palate with complexity coursing through each sip, soon your friends will know you as the one who always brings depth and elegance to the party.
