2019 Ultra Brut
In Stock
Ultra Brut is our driest sparkling wine, its low dosage highlighting the structure and minerality of our Brut. Very dry and brisk, it is a contemplative wine that appeals to the true aficionado. Méthode traditionnelle winemaking and three years aging adds depth to this blend of estate grown sustainably farmed Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.
Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
Our 2019 vintage is a classic expression of our Ultra Brut. A mélange of lime zest, honeydew melon, and white cherry on the nose leads into a palate dancing with notes of ripe stone fruit, green apple, peach, and shortbread cookie. With a surprisingly mouthwatering complexity, its bright, crisp fruit and delicate minerality ride on a serious structure that leads to a generous effervescence and lifted finish.
Vineyard Notes
The 2019 growing season started with saturated soils thanks to abundant winter and spring rains. Cooler weather throughout the summer meant plenty of time for flavors and aromatics to develop, and an early heat spike in August helped push the ample crop of grapes to full maturity, with a harvest start date of August 15. The continuing heat of August resulted in a fast and furious sparkling harvest of 22 days. The wines that resulted have a focused elegance on the palate that finishes with bright acidity.
Production Notes
60% Estate Grown Chardonnay, 40% Estate Grown Pinot Noir
Food Pairing Notes
A wine with such textural vibrance and intriguing tension pairs beautifully with foods with a natural voluptuousness such as raw oysters, ceviche, grilled pineapple fish tacos with pineapple salsa, or Dungeness crab.
