Nose
Brut Prestige features bright citrus, red apple, stone fruit and creamy
vanilla aromas, with hints of toast, honey and gingerbread spice.
Palate
Its
vibrant flavors are balanced by fine acidity and a rich, lingering finish.
Growing Conditions
Each harvest, the Brut Prestige blend is comprised of the best grapes
selected from up to 50 grower locations throughout the Napa appellation.
Harvest
The grapes are hand-harvested during the crisp morning hours to ensure
they arrive at the winery in pristine condition.
Winemaking
Fermentation is conducted at cool temperatures in stainless steel tanks to
preserve freshness and fruit intensity. A few select lots are aged in French
oak barrels to add depth, complexity, and spiciness. The finished blend is
bottled for second fermentation, with an average of 18 months’ yeast
ageing to add complexity, subtle dough flavors, and layers of creaminess.
The wine is disgorged in brut style and a dosage is added back to balance
the wines acidity, ageing another 3 months to fully marry the dosage and
base wines for our elegant house style.
Food Pairing
Pair this versatile and balanced sparkling wine with hors d’oeuvres such
as crab cakes or smoked salmon, fresh green salads, or grilled chicken
and vegetables.
