Midrash is a Hebrew concept, a story we tell to explain the inexplicable and incongruous found in the text. Basically, it’s biblical fan fiction, but I've always liked the idea of using creative writing as a vehicle for exploration. For us, Midrash is the label we have on hand to describe our one-off, vintage specific wines that reveal a distinct narrative from a particular harvest. In this case, it's a wine made like our flirty Wine(ish) but with extremely high quality, late picked fruit from a vineyard we won't have access to again. It was a treat and we think the wine is sicknastyexcellent!
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!
