2021 Ormiale 'James' Effervescent Naturel Vin de France, Bordeaux, France
$59.99
2021 is made with Malbec (90%) and Cabernet Franc (10%).
Making of: Manual harvest. Direct press, fermentation with indigenous yeasts. First bottling, still in fermentation, in early October 2021. Aged in old limestone quarry at the permanent temperature of 10°C. Disgorged on order. Nothing added at any moment.
Personality: “With an almost red wine nose, this sparkling wine surprises with its drinkability and tension.”
Vinification Method: Grapes are hand-harvested and destemmed. The wine is fermented for 4-5 weeks and then transferred to bottles to finish fermentation as a pet-nat. The wine rests in limestone caves for a minimum of 14 months (but usually more, as above) before being disgorged and re-capped. Zero sulfur added.
