Alcohol: 9.9%
Total sulfite addition: 50 ppm
Crushed and destemmed
1 day on skins
French oak barrels (4-6 years) for 11 months

Farming: Conventional/sustainable
Vineyard: Elizabeth's - Seneca Lake, west facing, steep slope
Soil: Shallow silt loam over fractured shale

Note: Rose petal, cherry and flint, gentle mousse, dry with barrel notes and light tannin.

Elevage: Grapes were crushed and destemmed into a one ton bin to macerate for 24 hours before pressing. Settled juice was moved to old French oak barrels where fermentation, including full malolactic, continued until August of 2022. In September of 2022 the wine was racked, sugar was added and it was bottled by hand without fining or filtration under crown cap. A second fermentation occurred in the bottle producing a dry, sparkling wine. Bottles were not disgorged.

Miscellaneous: This wine was barrel fermented to dryness before being bottled with a light dose of sugar. Bottle fermentation was followed by an additional 2 years of aging.



Tilled up "soil" during some new planting at Elizabeth's Vineyard.
