Growing Conditions
- Solaksen Vineyard
Gård Vintners is 100% estate grown sustainably at Lawrence Vineyards in the Royal Slope AVA. Lawrence Vineyards features seven distinct vineyard sites with elevations ranging 930 feet to 1,675 feet. The combination of elevation and south-facing slope provides a great framework for grape production, while the diversity of the seven locations delivers a high level of complexity to Gård wines. Lawrence Vineyards is certified sustainable by Vinewise.org.
Winemaking
Predominantly Pinot Noir with Chardonnay making up the balance in this Méthode Champenoise sparkling wine. A longer élevage to gain a touch more classic nuttiness and aromatic development and a small dosage of 3g/L similar to the 2017 regular disgorged wine gives this wine round luscious texture with great early drinkability. A much lighter mousse in the 2018 due to different disgorging system.
This wine is produced Vegan.
