This pétillant naturel is a 50/50 blend of organically farmed Pinot Noir and Chardonnay sourced from Contra Costa, California. Made by the méthode ancestrale: the wine is bottled before primary fermentation finishes, trapping CO2 naturally in the bottle. No added sulfites. No fining or filtration.
Contra Costa sits at the confluence of the Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers, roughly 50 miles east of San Francisco. Vineyards in the region are planted in deep sandy alluvial soils and benefit from a pronounced diurnal temperature shift, with warm days followed by cool nights driven by marine influence off Suisun Bay. These conditions preserve acidity in the grapes while allowing full phenolic development.
The result is a lightly sparkling wine with fine persistent bubbles, a creamy texture, and aromas of wild strawberry and custard. At low ABV and with no residual sweetness to speak of, it drinks fresh and lively from the first pour. Serve cold, ideally within a year or two of vintage.
