For our 2020 sparkling, Olivet Lane Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes were picked between 20 to 21 brix. pressed entirely using a champagne style press program to best suit the fruit. Pressed juice and whole lees is drained to tank, where we begin with cold stabulation, a prolonged fermentation method to concentrate aromatic potential. Fermentation completes in approximately one month time, at which point wine continues to age in tank, allowing for maturation of flavors. We tiraged this vintage in December 2021, at which time the wine was laid down in bottle until it’s disgorgement in June 2024. 30 months in total from harvest to completed bottle. We utilized a low dosage of 1.25g/L, made possible by the long tirage time of this vintage.
