Sparkling Brut N/V Vinification Notes:

After taille (second) whole cluster pressing, the wine was separated and fermented for each varietal and farm it was from. This gave us the opportunity to make this fun and exciting sparkling rouge. We aged 50 liters of Marechal Foch in an Italian demijohn in 2018, then blending with our 2019 Pinot Noir. Added organic cane sugar and VR44 yeast to kick off secondary fermentation in the bottle for this jammy sparkling wine. Aged sur lie (fine lees) for 15 months, disgorged and added a traditional French dosage at 10 g/l.

Tasting Notes:

Bright fruit and incredibly fresh acidity highlight the notes of strawberry, cranberry and raspberry.

Food Pairing:

This wine pairs with BBQ ribs, red sauce pastas, pork dishes, charcuterie meats and salty cheeses.
