Greenport's own Matchbook Distilling tells the legend of how they created this local plum/pinot noir co-ferment fortified with black walnut spirit through strokes of fortune and intuition:
"Last summer we received a surprise haul of 1000 lbs of damson plumbs from Briermere Farms on the North Road. We pressed them and kicked off the fermentation. Macari dropped off some Pinot Noir fruit, and we had just a bit too much to fit into the wine tank, so we blended it in with the fermenting plums. It was about 75% damson plums x 25% pinot noir. We had a pretty co-ferment going. One day we walked into the distillery and it was peaking - we knew it. We loved it. It was rich and bright. We wanted to fortify it. Stop it in its tracks and hold it in that moment. I couldn't stop thinking about the nocino. The flavors were at once so complimentary and so contrasting. We were just compelled to join them together. And so we pulled the nocino out from its slumber on its bed of botanicals and used it to fortify our plum x pinot noir co-ferment."
