TASTING NOTES
Pale Salmon in color with lively bubbles and Mousse. The 2018 Wedding Cuvée has a great raspberry aromas, followed by strawberry and a touch of lemon zest. Great red fruit flavors on the front palate that extend to the mid palate, followed by a burst of red apple and creaminess leading to a grapefruit finish with amazing texture throughout.
WINEMAKER NOTES
Wedding Cuvée is our interpretation of a Blanc de Noirs. In blending this wine we chose Pinot Noir lots that were extremely expressive and fruit forward. Then in a decided step away from convention, we blend in a bit of steely Chardonnay to add a firm acid backbone. Hand harvested in the chill of early morning our Pinot Noir is gently pressed as whole clusters. The juice slowly ferments in stainless steel tanks at 62° to 65°f retaining bright fruit aromas and flavors in the wine. The dosage for the 2018 Wedding Cuvée is 3 mls Brut Lex, 3 mls Blanc de Noir Lex, 8 mls 2019 UnOaked Chardonnay, 6 mls 2019 Gold Ridge Pinot Noir and 4 mls SP08
A perfect, heartwarming celebration of the season, which pairs so beautifully with bubbly, especially our 2013 Gratitude Sparkling Wine. Serves four to six.
