Vin Calaveras Sparkling Mondeuse Calaveras - 2018

The Mondeuse at Rorick Heritage Vineyard is among the last fruit to be picked every year; we typically see sugars reach our sparkling target level of ~19º Brix the last week of September or even into October. The fruit was hand picked and whole cluster pressed; primary fermentation was undertaken in neutral 227L barrique. The base wine went en tirage on 26 July 2019, and was disgorged on 27 March 2021 for a total of 20 months. It was finished with zero dosage.
