Cruse Wine Company St. Laurent Ricci Vineyard Carneros Sparkling Rose 2022 750ml

Sustainable. This Austrian variety has been grown by Dale Ricci, a longtime family friend, for about 25 years. Ricci vineyards is located on the Sonoma half of Carneros and only a few miles from the San Pablo Bay. It’s typical Carneros soil, Haire clay loam, with the cool fog and winds that define the region. The fruit was hand harvested, destemmed, and macerated for a few hours prior to a gentle sparkling press cycle. After racking to a small stainless steel tank, it was allowed to ferment spontaneously and then bottled while still slightly sweet. The fermentation continued to dryness in the bottle. The wine was then riddled and disgorged following a 6 month tirage storage. It is a rosé and bottled without additions of any kind. 292 cs produced
