winemaker’s notes
Harvested August 24-25, 2020. Gentle, slow, whole-cluster press as for Champagne, taking only the taille portion to stainless tank. All spontaneous fermentations. Months after fermentations complete, wine racked, chilled, and sulfited in December, 2020. Bottled February 21, 2021.
nota bene
A sibling to the sparkling Rainfall (same harvest, different press cut and vinting). A beautiful expression of Riesling from an unexpected place – that’s why it’s Uncharted.
