Dry Sparkling Rosé 
Estate Pinot Noir

​

 Harvest Notes  

This estate pinot noir was harvested by hand during the last week of September 2022 when sugars were still relatively low at 17.2 Brix and the acidity was lively with a pH of 3.22 and a TA of

7.1 g/L. 

 

Fermentation & Bottling Notes

The grapes were crushed and destemmed without sulfite additions and allowed to soak for 48 hours before being pressed.  The juice underwent a mixed culture fermentation and was aged in stainless steel for 4 months.  This lot was conditioned in kegs prior to being bottled by hand using counter-pressure bottle fillers to create a sediment free, spritzy experience.

 

Tasting Notes

On the nose this wine is so full of bright red fruit and honey aromas that it may fool you into thinking it's a sweet wine. It even tastes of watermelon jolly ranchers served on volcanic slate--fruity with a subtle touch of minerality. The acidity is strong enough to reign your experience back into balance and the effervescence helps to accentuate the crisp, dry finish. 

 

Our thoughts

This wine is a fun. Period. Drink it in the end-of-winter-I'm-sick-of-the-rain drizzle to help put a smile on your face or sip it when you're in that I'm-on-a-boat-in-the-sun-with-my-shades kind of mood and you feel like setting a new PR for happiness.
