This is our first release of the Non-Vintage Méthode Traditionnelle blanc de blancs. The majority of this base comes from 2019, with a small portion of over-vintaging wine from 2017 and 2018. Our Brut began as a labor of love. We have several small parcels of Chardonnay at Early Mountain that we began to pick for sparkling in 2017, due to their location in a cooler part of the vineyard, which allows those parcels to maintain greater acidity. Chardonnay for the Brut sparkling is the first fruit we always bring in from each vintage. In 2019, we began to co-ferment a portion of Pinot Gris with some of the Chardonnay, lending a unique textural balance to the base wine. The base is fermented in 70% stainless and 30% in neutral oak and as with many traditional sparkling wines, the base is non-vintage, which allows us to blend in some wine intentionally held back from previous vintages, which sees further aging in barrel. Once bottled, This wine spends thirty two months on lees, bringing distinctive autolytic character development. The lees contact pushes this wine towards a more brioche and confectionary territory, yet it still maintains its fresh, citrus driven attributes.
