Charmat method is a famous Italian sparkling style of second fermentation occurring in specialized pressure tanks to produce natural bubbles the same way that Prosecco is made. This complements our diverse Traditional Method sparkling portfolio and offers a new sparkling that is fresh, vibrant, fruity, and dry.

"SUPER delicious, no surprise there! Loved the play of red fruit with savory components...So well balanced!!" Sommelier Brodie Cook
Production Notes
A blend of Estate L’Acadie blanc, and Marechal Foch and Seyval blanc from our organic grower in Falmouth. All grapes were pressed whole cluster with light press yields.
Lees stirring for four months in charmat tank and finished with a higher dosage (8 g/l) than our Prestige Brut but still to the customary brut style.
