- WINEMAKER: Leo Hansen
- FARMING: Sourced from sustainably farmed vineyards in Clarksburg, emphasizing environmental stewardship and vineyard health.
- VARIETY: 100% Chenin Blanc
- TERROIR: Clarksburg's vineyards benefit from the cooling breezes of the Sacramento River Delta, which, combined with alluvial soils, provide an ideal environment for Chenin Blanc, imparting freshness and vibrant acidity.
- VINIFICATION: Grapes are hand-harvested and fermented using native yeasts. The wine undergoes secondary fermentation in the bottle, following the traditional Méthode Champenoise, to develop its fine bubbles and complexity.
- AGING: Aged on the lees in the bottle for several months to enhance texture and depth before disgorgement.
- TASTING NOTES: Pale straw in color with a fine mousse, this sparkling Chenin Blanc offers aromas of green apple, pear, and honeysuckle. The palate is crisp and refreshing, featuring flavors of citrus zest, quince, and a hint of brioche, leading to a clean, mineral-driven finish.
- FOOD PAIRINGS: Ideal as an aperitif or paired with oysters, sushi, light salads, or soft cheeses like chèvre.
