Grapes grown using biological viticultural methods are fermented in stainless steel tanks, then the wine is aged on its lees in bottle for 30 months. This delicate pink fizz has a beautiful red fruit character with a lip-smacking raspberry acidity. Fresh and vibrant, the lees give it a softness that works so well against the near-tartness of the fruit. A pure expression.
