The Pinot Noir for this méthode champenoise sparkling wine comes from specific blocks on our estate vineyard, which are picked early – before our regular pinot noir harvest begins. Sur lie aging in barrel and extended bottle aging en tirage add to the wine’s complexity. Sea Spray is fresh and alive on the palate and finishes with impressive length. The nuanced nose expresses fresh blueberries, rising dough and rose petal. The wine enters the palate with energetic freshness and is enlivened with minerality on the finish.
No Critics' Scores - Here's What We Thought:
Elegant pale pink in color, this sparkling wine greets the nose with wild strawberries, toasted brioche, and a hint of sea‑shell minerality. On the palate, crisp green apple and red-berry flavors dazzle with fine, persistent bubbles, leading to a long, vibrant finish that highlights bright acidity and pure fruit. Perfect as an aperitif, it also shines alongside oysters, scallops, fresh seafood, or a delicate goat cheese salad. Enjoy!
