The Bifröst Bridge, commonly referred to as the Bifröst, is a multidimensional energy that allows instantaneous travel within the Nine Realms, a group of vastly distant celestial bodies that are home to various different races and cultures.

While the concept of the Bifröst derives from ancient Norse mythology in which the Bifröst was the rainbow bridge connecting the land of the Gods (Asgard) with the land of humanity (Midgard), familiarity with the Bifröst has increased exponentially in recent years due to the popularization of this myth in the context of the Avengers series in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. In the Avengers, the Bifröst is used primarily by the Asgardians, who are able to use a rainbow bridge to harness the energy and access the Bifröst in order to travel to and protect the Nine Realms.

Every myth alludes to a deeper truth. In this case, the light energy comprising the universe contains every colour of the rainbow. Even we are light energy encased in an amazing organic vessel. Our connection to this light energy can be seen through our energetic portals in the form of chakras – spinning discs of light energy and sound.

The rainbow bridge – the Bifröst – is the metaphysical journey or path that we, as individuals and as a collective, are traversing. Our aim is to re-align with our limitless divinity and the true nature of our existence.

Winemaker Notes

Here is our spacetime traveling, swashbuckling, entry level amber wine, back again in a whole new guise. While the grape varieties continue to change, the basic elevage of this wine has stayed relatively constant. In this second installment of Bifrost we co-fermented and destemmed whole berries of Pinot Blanc and Gewürztraminer, fermented in stainless steel, and had a short maturation time in older oak. This is a return to a more elegant, light, and crushable style for our entry level amber wine. 

To accomplish this we picked each variety at a very different ripeness for specific qualities. The Pinot Blanc was picked early at the same time as our sparkling wine pick to give great acidity and lighter tannins. The Gewürztraminer was left hanging to get as ripe as the vintage would permit and provide beautiful aromatics, more developed tannins, and deeper colour.

This co-ferment of roughly two thirds Pinot Blanc (65%) and one third Gewürztraminer (35%) was bottled in March 2023, unfined and unfiltered.
