Growing Conditions
Paso Robles is located between San Francisco and Los Angeles. The most popular wine region in the Central Coast it is home to wineries and wine growers that specialize in a multitude of varietals. Its various microclimates provide ample areas to grow many of the most popular grapes in the wine industry.
Harvest
This wine is made from grapes that were harvested by hand at the break of day. The grapes come from a single vineyard to ensure maximum flavor, consistency and authenticity.
Winemaking
Chardonnay is the grape used in the classic French Chablis and Champagne and is the component of this amazing sparkling wine. In the US it grows well in warm to hot temperatures like Paso Robles and achieves the perfect sugar and acid content at maturity. Petite Sirah provides the amazing color.
All phases of Paso Doble production were done at the winery. The initial cuvee was fermented and stabilized in stainless steel. In-bottle fermentation (tirage) took 3 months in sparkling cages after which every single bottle was hand riddled and disgorged. A final addition (dosage) of simple syrup was done to give it the Brut level of dryness.
- Fermentation: TIrage in-bottle
