Nose
Aromas of
sweet melon, lime, and faint spice.
Palate
Flavors of apricot,
peach, and red berries are followed by a never ending
stream of tiny bubbles.
Growing Conditions
Like France’s renowned Champagne district, Columbia
Valley vineyards sit at a northerly latitude. The region
receives about two extra hours of sunlight during the peak
of the growing season. Ample sunshine and cool evenings create ideal conditions in
developing superior flavor and crisp acids.
Winemaking
This lot was kept separate from all other Pinot Noir until
after tirage bottling in January 2018. Méthode Champenoise: the assemblage is then bottled with
a small amount of liqueur de tirage which triggers
secondary fermentation.
Aging
The sparkling wine is aged sur lie for six months. A tiny amount of liquid dosage was added to keep and
highlight the wonderful aromas and flavors.
Appearance
This wine is pale straw in color.
Food Pairing
This sparkling is the perfect
accompaniment for a wide array of foods.
