Welcoming back our much beloved Charmat. 

This non-vintage (NV) Charmat-method sparkling wine project was first envisioned at the start of 2016 harvest. Our goal was to explore the effects of extended maturation in bulk (rather than in bottle), as well as the impact of blending multiple vintages on the base for our sparkling wine library. Small volumes of base wine were produced from each harvest between 2016 and 2024, aged individually in neutral French oak, and only minimally topped and tasted over time. The final blend undergoes secondary fermentation in tank, using the Cuvée Close (Charmat) method, to produce its fine bubbles.
