vinification
Grapes are handpicked & transported to the winery in small bins where they are gently whole-cluster pressed to retain the delicate vibrancy and freshness. This wine is fermented in stainless steel tanks at 55-60°F to retain vibrancy and freshness. 25% of the Pinot Noir grapes in the blend were cold macerated for 4 to 6 hours to develop color and bright aromas without bitter compounds.
aging
Aged on the lees for 1.5 years
aroma
Burst of red fruit notes such as raspberry and passion fruit.
palate
Medium-bodied wine with flavors of strawberry marmalade and tangerine, that culminates in a graceful, lingering finish.
serving suggestions
Ideal with light appetizers and fresh seafood, it is also the perfect accompaniment to fresh fruits, especially raspberry. The acidity and freshness of this sparkler will pair well with watermelon lightly sprinkled with chili powder. For cheese, try semi-dry crumbles of feta.
