2016 Cuvée Brut Nature

The foggy mornings and coastal influence at our Jespersen Ranch vineyard allow both Pinot Noir and Chardonnay to develop exceptionally beautiful flavor profiles that are perfect for making complex sparkling wine. This Cuvée of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay is the result of the labor-intensive process of sparkling winemaking where we perform each step ourselves.
After lightly pressing the Pinot and Chardonnay, the juice fermented in neutral barrels and stainless steel. Bubbles and complex flavors developed in the bottle during the second fermentation (tirage), followed by 24 months of aging before being hand-riddled and disgorged in June, 2019. "Brut Nature" refers to the fact that we added zero sugar to the ‘dosage’, and we believe that keeping the expression pure was the best way to create a lively and complex iteration of our coastal vineyard site.
