no. 03 Sparkling Mondeuse

The grapes come from a certified dry-farmed vineyard in Foxen Canyon, on the southern boundary of the Santa Maria AVA. The cool microclimate, often influenced by coastal fog, extends the ripening period. The wine consists of approximately 85 % 2023 wine and 15 % 2024 wine. The 2023 component was destemmed, spontaneously fermented on the skins for ten days and matured for one year without sulphur in neutral oak barrels. The second fermentation took place in bottle, followed by two months on the lees. It shows delicate bubbles, a dry style, lively acidity and aromas of raspberry and strawberry. Bottling and disgorging were carried out by hand on 23 January 2025; 53 cases were produced.
