2024 'Ode to Sappho' Traditional Method Sparkling Red
Collaboration with Bella Wines
Type: Sparkling Red
Varieties: Marechal Foch
Origin: Hancock Vineyard, Naramata, BC
The first full collaboration wine made by my wife Bree of Bella Wines and I!
Very gently basket pressed into a stainless steel tank where the juice went through a wild fermentation with an open top. After a very active wild ferment, the wine was racked off of gross lees, then bottled with a small amount of sugar to kick off the secondary fermentation in bottle. The wine was then riddled and disgorged with an added 20ppm of sulphur.
Tasting Notes:
Nose - red currant, plum, espresso beans
Palate - red licorice, sour cherry, ocean spray cranberry, pomegranite
