The wine is made from grapes grown in cool climate vineyards on California's North Coast.
Citrus, pear and floral aromas with a hint of yeast.
A sparkling wine with light, refreshing bubbles and a smooth finish that brightens up your palate.
The harvested grapes are separated into lots and presses and undergo primary fermentation in stainless steel tanks to produce base wine, which is then blended based on the aroma, acidity, etc. of the base wine to create cuvées.
A mixture of sugar and yeast (liqueur de tirage) is added to the cuvée, which is then bottled and the secondary fermentation takes place in the bottle using the Champagne method (Methode Champenoise).
After fermentation is complete, the wine is aged for 9 months on the yeast lees, after which the lees are collected in the bottle by riddling, and the bottle neck is frozen to remove the lees (degorgement).
To balance the wine, a small amount of liqueur is added (dosage), the wine is corked, wired and left to age in the bottle.
After aging in the bottle, the wine is labeled, covered in foil and shipped.
