Cuvée Alexandre 2019

100% Riesling (Niagara)

This is a Brut traditional method sparkling wine.  We fermented the wine to dryness then racked the wine twice.  After several months we restarted the fermentation added enough sugar to create 6 atmospheres of pressure and bottled the wine.  Secondary fermentation lasted 5-6 weeks followed by 18 months of aging on the lees (yeasts). We eliminated the sediments by disgorging the wine and adding 15mL of our fortified wine to complete the bottles.

Honey and fresh bread on the nose with citrus, pastry and brioches on the palate with plenty of fine, persistent bubbles.
