About This Wine
Our Brut Reserve grapes are harvested by hand at night or during the cool morning hours to ensure they arrive at the winery in pristine condition. The component lots of the wine are kept separate and fermented at cool temperatures in small stainless steel tanks to preserve freshness and fruit intensity. To create the rich style we seek for Brut Reserve, we age 10-15% of the wine in French oak for 10-12 months before it is blended with the non-oaked wines and bottled for the second fermentation in bottle. The Brut Reserve spends 48 months en tirage, which fosters its complex personality.
