This sparkling has a soft mousse, lively acidity, bright red fruit flavors, and a subtle hint of floral notes, resulting in a refreshing and vibrant wine.

The Pinot Noir was picked for natural acidity and foot tread before being whole cluster pressed. The juice was fermented with native yeast in neutral French oak barrels. The wine was bottled at the very end of fermentation to capture the natural bubbles of fermentation in the bottle. The wine aged in bottle on lees for 3 months before being riddled, disgorged, corked and caged, all by hand.

Topotero Vineyard, located in Avila Beach, San Luis Obispo County is farmed by Ben Taylor using organic practices on his family’s home ranch just over a mile from the Pacific Ocean.
