The low-interventionist Podkubovsek family's Stix & Bugs begins with the gathered leftovers from previous wine productions, in this case, mostly Chardonnay pomace, which is soaked in water for a week or two, then pressed again. This pressing begins fermentation naturally and is bottled and capped off before it completes, resulting in a fizzy, yeasty, deliciously crushable thirst annihilator. Take that White Claw!
