Stoller Estate Brut Sparkling

WINEMAKER’S NOTES

Our non-vintage Estate Brut was created to tell the story of our site without the influence of vintage. By blending multiple vintages of Chardonnay, Pinot Meunier, and Pinot Noir, we were able to produce a beautiful sparkling wine with a harmonious balance that illustrates our “house style” or winemaker philosophy. Our Estate Brut will continue to tell the story of our site with every bottling. 

For our inaugural bottling, the aromatics are generous, showing juicy notes of pear, ginger, and anise seed. The palate is vibrant and taut, but the effervescence carries the fruit through a long finish.  Made in the Méthode Champenoise style, this wine was fermented and aged on lees in neutral French oak before being tiraged. After tirage, our non-vintage Estate Brut continued to mature on lees in bottle before release. While it’s enjoyable now, this wine will continue to evolve for decades.
