Wine of the Seventh Year after Biur

Question

I have wine from the Heter Mechira, and the question is whether to pour it out or be concerned that at the winery they declare it ownerless at the time of Biur. It likely refers to Barkan.

Answer

Hello 

It should be poured out and destroyed.

There is no need to be concerned that it was declared ownerless, as reliance is on the Heter Mechira. Furthermore, it was cultivated and preserved unlawfully.
