2019 Cruse Wine Co Demo Series Traditional Method Valdiguie Sparkling Rose
$53.00
Organic. Valdiguié (Napa Gamay) from Terry Wilson’s Rancho Chimiles vineyard in Wooden Valley, Napa Valley AVA. A cooler region in south Napa, nestled against the Vacas mountains. Persistent mid-morning fog prevents extreme temperatures. Vines are 40+ years old. There is no tillage in the vineyard with a permanent cover crop on silt loam soils. We often make the Valdiguié from Rancho Chimiles as a pét-nat, but conditions in 2019 allowed us to experiment. We wanted to know if we would gain more varietal character and site impact from a traditional method sparkler. This is a saignée rosé that used both the cuvée and a small portion of taille. After nearly 30 months en tirage, this wine was disgorged with a dosage of 6 g/L. 180 cs produced.
