Plums and petals are two of our favourite things. Like all our ingredients, both are fleeting: transient yet punctual in their annual rhythms.

Ostara Lilac takes 3 years to make. We started with apples from 2022, added golden plums from 2023 and finally, foraged lilac flowers from the spring of 2024 before bottling. This vintage was aged on the lees of our Muscat wine for almost a year before bottling.

What's it like? The blend presents itself with a punchy lilac nose, tart plum acidity and soft stemmy tannins. Lilacs are the star here, their aroma and texture bolstered by the refreshing plum backbone. The sweet, candy-like Muscat lifts the lilacs further than ever before.

Ostara Lilac drinks like the lilac soda we wish we had as kids.
