A youthful, still apple wine pressed after two and a half months of maceration.
Mazik is a Yiddish word used to describe an impish, mischievous figure, often used to refer to a puckish youngster. While we absolutely love the effect we get from our long macerated apple wines, the actual winemaking is a fairly awful experience. The lots are so decomposed by the time we press that it’s inevitably messy and challenging no matter how careful you try to be. As the younger, fresher echo of our long-aged apple wine, Mazik seemed the right title for a charming wine that causes so much trouble!
Chertok Wines is a family farm-winery growing apples and grapes in the tiny town of Shoreham, Vermont, one of New England’s premier apple terroirs. Chertok is a family name meaning ‘little cherti’ referring to the folkloric Russian spirits that were believed to animate the world that later became reframed as demons. The Rose-Chertok family focuses on producing natural country wines with an emphasis on long macerations, Qvevri aging and fermenting both crops together. The devilishly styled Chertok wines are fresh, playful and bottled avec schmutz!
