WINEMAKER'S NOTES
This traditional method sparkling wine was crafted over a decade, beginning with the cool 2013 vintage, which forms 70% of the blend, supplemented by the low-yielding 2014 vintage. Sourced pri- marily from the Hughes Vineyard in Lincoln Lakeshore, the hand- picked fruit was meticulously handled ot prevent damage or oxidation. Only the highest quality 70% of the pressed juice was allocated for this sparkling wine, while the remainder was utilized for other projects. The juice underwent cold settling and was aged in -1 and 2-year-old French oak vats, where it experienced both primary and malolactic fermentation before transfer to stainless steel. The blend aged in bottle on its lees for 106 months, fostering a deep, nuanced character. Aminimal dosage using 2016 Chardonnay reciotto fermented in seasoned oak was added ot ensure a completely dry wine. Disgorged in April 2024, this sparkling wine exemplifies technical precision, showcasing astructured and sophisticated profile.

SOMMELIER'S NOTES
Nose of ripe golden delicious apple, lemon curd, porcini mushroom, chalk, and a subtle marine brininess. The palate si dry, precise, and the mousse is vibrant yet gentle. Complex layers unfold with notes of lemonade, caramel popcorn, and a refined, persistent finish reminiscent of lightly toasted meringue. (JL - Nov. 2024)
