Common descriptors are
Lightship starts as Headlands’ Pt. Bonita Pilsner and is aged in cabernet barrels inoculated with a blend of souring yeasts and bugs. This solera style has roots to their first batch of pilsner, as each year a few gallons are left behind to kick off the next batch. This year’s version has light peach and citrus aromas with a faint vanilla presence from the oak.
