Winemaker: Aaron Lieberman
Region: Chalice Vineyard, Willamette Valley AVA, Oregon
This is our first sparkling wine from Chalice vineyard which is located in Cottage Grove, south of Eugene. It's a vineyard that's located high up in the hills and the fruit that that comes from it is sublime. This is 100% Chardonnay and considered a "Brut Nature" which means that no sugar was added during the dosage. It is the driest style of sparkling wine and was made in the same style as Champagne. It stayed on its lees for 15 months and has beautiful aromas of green apples and almonds. A slight touch of lime zest and brioche. Very balanced and Regan things it's the best wine in our lineup. Should be great this time of year while sitting on the deck.
