2017 Yvette Sparkling Pinot Noir Chardonnnay

Light salmon tinge with a bright nose of lifted citrus notes, honeysuckle, and red apple aromas, followed by sauvory biscuity yeast derived notes.  Delicate fine mousse, with nice texture, balanced by fresh acidity and fruit pith and zest providing length and a brisk finish.  Fruit was harvested early to retain acidity and allow long term aging on yeast lees. The wine is a dry (or brut) style made from 60/40 blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay made in the “traditional method”, where the secondary ferment takes place in bottle.   A dry aperitif style, to be enjoyed now or over the next few years.
