Sparkling Chenin Blanc Release (v. 2020)

The Wilson Vineyard was planted in 1998 and is farmed by the fourth generation of the Wilson family. This vineyard has shown us the beauty of high-acid white wines from the Delta, where constant winds blow across the cool waters of the Sacramento River. The base wine was fermented with its native yeasts and after the second fermentation, was bottle aged for eight months. Hand disgorged in February 2022. 7,890 bottles produced.

Our v. 2020 Sparkling Chenin is one of those wines where everything seemed to go just right. Picked on the 14th of August at 18.0 brix, the wine fermented coolly and slowly, producing a more floral wine than previous vintages. On the nose, the wine shows its familiar scallion, daffodil and quince. On the palate, the wine is refreshing, like crunching into a slice of underripe Asian pear. This is the perfect wine for opening on a Tuesday “just because.” Enjoy immediately and often!
