Sparkling Brut - Sonoma County

    Overview

    Michel-Schlumberger extra dry sparkling wine is crafted from grapes grown at our Benchland Estate Vineyard in Sonoma County. This sparkling wine was produced by inducing in-bottle secondary fermentaion and a minimum of 12 months of aging using the traditional methode champenoise to create the tiny bubbles and complex flavors. It will continue to develop as it ages.

    About This Wine

    A perfect and luxurious pairing with freshly shucked oysters, caviar, and other elegant seafood. Also delicious with little madeleines or financiers (little almond cakes) at a garden party.

    Vineyard Notes

    The grapes used to make this Brut sparkling wine are all from our estate vineyard at Michel-Schlumberger.

    These grapes were picked in the 2016 vintage.  Moderate summer and fall temperatures  allowed the grapes to retain bright fruit flavors.

    Production Notes

    Fermentation:  Fermented in stainless steel tanks at cool temperatures to retain the fruit flavors.  No malo-lactic fermentation.  After fermentation, the wine was settled then blended into this cuvée.

    Cooperage / Aging:  The cuvée was bottled with a dosage of special sparkling wine yeast and allowed to ferment in the bottle.  Aged for 12 months “on the yeast” in the bottle, the wine develops the classic rich texture and refined “sparkle” that comes from this “Methode Champenoise” technique.
