Barrel Regimen - This sparkling wine is made as a Pétillant-Naturel (or Pet-nat), which is to say it’s made in the “methode ancestrale” style. We pressed whole clusters into stainless steel and began fermentation. Then we chilled the wine down to stop fermentation and bottled the juice. As it warmed up, fermentation began again in bottle. Wine was not disgorged. Aged in bottle.
Tasting Notes- Dry, mineral and fruity with a whole range of red, pink and purple fruit.
NOTE: This bottle has a crown cap, not a cork and cage closure.
