The Difference
Explore the difference between Tabler Life Wine and any other wine you have experienced before.
Winemaking Practices:
• Wine Grapes grown in the Monticello region of Virginia - crushed and aged in Charleston, SC
• Muscadine Grapes grown on Wadmalaw Island, South Carolina - crushed and aged in Charleston, SC
• Apple varieties grown in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Western South Carolina and North Carolina - Apple Wines produced and aged in Charleston, SC
• 100% pure grape free flow juice – No harsh pressing of the skins after initial fermentation. This preserves the delicate flavor profile derived from the microbiotic skin fermentation by avoiding the extraction and incorporation of substandard astringent juice that pressing can produce. No additives: yeast, water, sugar, concentrates, chemicals, sulfites or otherwise.
• Spontaneous microbiotic fermentation led by naturally occurring Lactobacillus and other native microbes. No yeast or cultures added whatsoever – commercial or otherwise.
• No Additives whatsoever - Tabler Life Wine completely lists all ingredients on every bottle 100%. This is different than the entire wine industry. Up to 80 chemical additives can currently be added to any bottle of wine without disclosing any to the consumer - including the commercial yeast used to inoculate the juice. Ingredients aren't required to be listed in wine, unlike every other item in a grocery store.
• Microbiotically fermented on the skins for 8-9 days to extract beneficial compounds from the seeds and skins, enhancing the wine’s ideal taste and color profile, while also supercharging the wine’s nutritional profile as supported by scientific studies. (Studies shown on website)
• Aged entirely in pure, clear glass vessels – no oak, no stainless steel or otherwise – for purity and incredible taste second to none. (We completely avoid stainless steel, which contains Iron, Chromium, Nickel and other metals that leach into the liquids they contain. This can affect not only taste and wine integrity, but health also.)
• Bottled in pure, clear glass to avoid potential leaching of heavy metals such as chromium and cadmium, which are commonly used to create the coloring in wine bottles. Light aka "lightstrike" is not a concern with natural spontaneous fermentation.
• Sealed with Vinolok glass closure which eliminates cork taint risk and preserves the incredible taste and microbial integrity. (Studies indicate this closure maintains wine integrity over extended periods, making it suitable for long-term aging up to and beyond 15 years. Additionally, spontaneous microbiotic fermentation benefits from little to no oxygen ingress during aging, for which this closure is ideal.)
• Tabler Life Wine is unfiltered, unfined, additive-free, living wine.
Desirability and Benefits:
• Microbial-Led Fermentation Creates Living Wine: Spontaneously fermented by Lactobacillus and natural microbial populations which are preserving microbiotic organisms - No yeast, either commercial or otherwise. Yeast is the mold and fungus family which means anti-life, otherwise known as anti-biotic (biotic means life) Natural spontaneous fermentation is pro-biotically done which means supporting and preserving life. This wine is entirely different - Living Wine.
• Living Microbiotic Character Benefits: This wine has a living microbial profile without additives or preservatives, and with many potential benefits shown in studies.
• Living Wine Experience: Gain a sense of real natural microbiotic life and vitality as was once known to consumers of traditional wines in the Old World.
• Truly Additive-Free which supports health and creates vastly superior taste: No sulfites, yeast, nutrients, enzymes, coloring agents, or stabilizers or anything else. (All wines Federally released from all sulfite warning label requirements by Federal government TTB tests.
• Purity of Taste: Aged and bottled only in pure, clear glass for wine purity, resulting in incredible purity of taste.
• Glass-on-Glass Closure Packaging: Both the pure clear glass bottle and the pure glass closure are chemically inert, using only the highest quality clear glass, free from heavy metals, thus eliminating any potential for contamination, cork taint or flavor interference. (Most so-called clear glass wine bottles are substandard and have a green hue that can easily be seen in the base. This is caused by iron oxide and impurities in the glass. We do not accept these bottles, but rather take the extra step to source only the purest clear glass that contains a pure product. One taste and you will know why.)
• Clear Glass by Design: Transparency is both literal and symbolic — no heavy metal risk from coloring agents in wine bottles, with the pure wine proudly on display. (Concerns of so called “light strike” during aging which is supposedly caused by light exposure over a very long timeframe does not affect a natural spontaneous microbiotic fermentation. Meanwhile, the heavy metals from the coloring agents in dark bottles are of much more drastic concern to the taste and healthfulness of any wine. This is completely ignored in the wine industry. This issue is covered on our website.)
•This pure and anciently produced wine is said in testimonials to completely eliminate headaches, sinus problems and hangovers. Wine made in this fashion is the wine spoken of in the Bible in 1 Timothy 5:23, which says “No longer drink only water, but use a little wine for the sake of your stomach and your frequent ailments”. Modern industrial wine does not accomplish this, and in fact does the opposite. Give Tabler Life Wine a try. It won’t be your last.
• Ideal for natural wine bars, clean-label retailers, sommeliers, and health-conscious consumers seeking authenticity in every bottle. Just wait until you taste it.....
