Blue Mountain Gold Label Brut (750ml)

Made from 100% estate grown grapes.  Manual thinning is practiced in the vineyard to reduce the crop yield and produce a more concentrated and higher quality grape.  The grapes are hand harvested and whole cluster pressed.  Each variety is fermented separately.  This is a blend of about 35% Pinot Noir and 66% Chardonnay.  After the initial fermentation the wines are blended and re-inoculated with yeast and bottled to go through secondary fermentation.  Post secondary fermentation, the wine is left to age sur-lie for 24 months. The wine is disgorged and finished dry in the classic Brut style (about 8g/L RS) then left for approximately 6 to 9 months prior to release.
