A zero dosage sparkling made from organically and biodynamically farmed Merlot grown on high elevation marl soils. The grapes are hand harvested, gently pressed with brief skin contact, and fermented spontaneously. Secondary fermentation takes place in bottle using frozen must from the same vintage, followed by three years on lees. No liqueur is added at disgorgement and sulfur is kept very low. The wine is precise and mineral, with fine texture and bright, driving acidity.
