Vintage
The 2000 growing season presented us with the perfect conditions for producing sparkling wine. Cool weather at harvest preserved acidity while allowing for fantastic flavor development.
Vineyard:
Our Blanc de blanc is produced from 100% Estate Chardonnay grown in our cool climate, maritime-influenced vineyards at elevationsaveraging 1900 ft.
Winemaking:
The cuvee was fermented in 100% stainless steel to preserve freshness and purity. This ensured the preservation of delicate flavors and intricacies; qualities inherent to our Estate Chardonnay. The initial
bottling was aged en tirage for more than four years to increase complexity and add roundness in the mouth.
Tasting Notes:
Delicate, brilliant and precise, this Blanc de blanc has a fabulous texture and fine mousse. The flavors
range from biscuit and toast to apple and white flowers. Eextended time en tirage has added flesh to the firm spine of acidity, creating a truly complex and delicious sparkler. While it drinks beautifully now, you want to age a few bottles another 3-7 years for additional complexity.
