We crafted Brine, a crisp Vinho Verde–style blend made for oysters and inspired by the Chesapeake Bay. Like all Old Westminster wines, it’s cause-driven — we’re donating $1 from every bottle to the Oyster Recovery Partnership. This blend of 65% Riesling and 35% Chardonnay was hand-picked, cold pressed, and fermented with native yeast in stainless steel, then aged six months on lees for texture and depth. The result is stainless steel purity with a lees-driven body, a gentle spritz, and three defining words: tart, oceanic, refreshing.
