2018 Brut Dundee Hills
38 months en tirage
The 2018 Brut Dundee Hills is a sparkling wine collaboration between our winemaker and a family friend who owned an organic vineyard in the Dundee Hills AVA. After selling the vineyard, our friend wanted to have small amount of sparkling wine from his favorite part of the vineyard before retirement. He provided us with one ton of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, which our winemaker crafted into this exceptional wine.

Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
The resulting wine is a true reflection of the Dundee Hills terroir. It has a lively effervescence and a delicate balance of fruit and acidity—clear pale straw in the glass with fine bubble trails. On the nose, it presents notes of green apple and citrus, with hints of brioche and toast, citrus, apple, and pear, with a touch of sweet florals and spice. On the palate, it has a creamy mouthfeel and flavors of lemon curd and pear, with a tangy fullness; it is very well-balanced and has a long finish.
Production Notes
50/50 Blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir
