  • Fresher, green orchard fruit that can be restrained or have tangible minerality.
  • Delicate with crisp acidity, and typically light and bright due to our cool climate.
  • Most producers using stainless steel or neutral oak barrels, but new oak is subtle and allows fruit freshness to shine.

  • Used widely for traditional method sparkling wine production.
