Sparkling Wines

After tasting this wine (two years on the lees) is any indication of what we have, I'm super excited   It is surpassing the 2020 vintage and with the inclusion of Pinot Meunier in the mix, it has the complexity needed to be the best Sparkling yet.  No Joke!

This wine was reviewd by world renowned wine critic Julia Harding with the following notes:

Score 16.5 (supeior/distinguished)

Made from Cayuga White (a complex hybrid selected in New York in 1052 and released in 1972), traditional method, aged three years on the lees. Dosage just 2 g/l. pH 3.15.
The citrus, herbal and green-fruits aroma dominates the nose so that the yeasty autolytic character is subtle. It was quite frothy when first poured but settled down in the glass to a fine mousse and a much more obvious toasty character. There's a slight sweet-sour impression on the finish even though the residual sweetness is so low. Packed with fruit but it's in balance with the traditional-method complexity from the yeast lees. Impressive for a hybrid variety, which has benefited from being taken seriously in the winery, with the investment needed for long lees ageing. (JH)
