Palate
Finesse and intensity define this lively wine which opens with enticing notes of
pear, honeydew melon, peach, guava and apricot. Uplifting citrus flavors and
fine bubbles are wrapped in crisp acidity, yet the round, creamy mouthfeel that
comes from the wine’s years of lees contact persists through a lingering finish.
Winemaking
Produced using the labor-intensive process known as “methode
champenoise” or the “traditional method,” this vineyard designated sparkling
wine comprises the two varietals most commonly found in Champagne: Pinot
Noir and Chardonnay. After the primary fermentation was completed in neutral
French oak barrels, the wine was placed in bottles along with a proprietary
“tirage” to induce secondary fermentation. The wine rested “en tirage” for two
years and was disgorged in August 2016
