Our 2024 Sparkling Wine is made with Chardonnay grapes. It is a Pét-nat (Pétillant Naturel) which is a sparkling wine made in a manner that predates the “traditional method” used in Champagne. The 2024 Chardonnay Pét-nat spent 7 months in tirage on the ‘lees’ (spent yeast cells, the cell membranes of pulp, and stem and skin fragments of grapes) in the bottle to create the effervescence. After this period we expel the lees plug (this process is called “disgorging”), refill the amount lost (as we disgorge bottles we loose some wine so we then fill the disgorged bottle with the same wine. This is often referred to as ‘Brut Sauvage’)
Our 2024 Chardonnay Sparkling was produced with Chardonnay Clone 4 from the Rio Vista Vineyard situated within the world-renowned Sta. Rita Hills AVA.
The palate is lively and crisp with pear or apples, which then turn to notes of citrus, supported by soft effervescence. This vintage as with most Pét-nat’s is still evolving in the bottle. Buy a few and taste them every few months. ***Please note. bottle closure is different on finished product.
