Terroir:
This wine is made from 100% estate-grown fruit. Our vines are sheltered in the foothills of Carter’s Mountain in the Monticello American Viticultural Area (AVA).
Vintage Notes:
After a cold winter with some bud loss, a hot and dry summer and great weather conditions throughout harvest led to excellent flavor and concentration.
Winemaker's Notes:
This Brut is made via Méthode Champenoise by blending 90% Chardonnay and 10% Pinot Noir. Hand picking at night and gently pressing ensures that this wine retains all of its best qualities. After a combination of stainless steel and French oak barrel aging, the wine gains complexity by aging on the lees in the bottle for a minimum of 36 months. At disgorging, a low dosage is added to balance acidity and improve mouthfeel.
