Palate
Fresh cut strawberries, orange peel, almond and shortbread compliment luscious bubbles.
Growing Conditions
Estate vineyard 1.5 acres, hand tended, mechanical weeding (no herbicides), compost tea applications, cane and cordon pruning applied. characterized by the layer of white hairs on the underside of the leaves that look like a dusting of flour, hence the name Meunier, meaning 'miller' in French. Meunier's early budding and ripening attribute to the obviously fruity palate and its reliably over Pinot noir.

Traditional Champanoise Méthode. Base wine produced to retain fruit esters. Tirage solution added, riddled and aged for 2 years.
Food Pairing
Salmon; mushroom, asparagus, and prosciutto pasta, roasted duck with cranberry chutney, strawberry, pecan, feta and mixed greens salad.
