Blanc de Blanc
This single vineyard 2021 Jaine sparkling Blanc de Blanc was crafted from Conner Lee in the Columbia Valley AVA. The vineyard is fully sustainable and uses organic farming methods, whenever possible. The fruit was hand-harvested early in the morning of September 18th, 2021. Upon arriving in the winery, the lot was hand-sorted, whole-cluster pressed. The wine was fermented and aged for 3 months in stainless steel. Then the wine sat in bottle for 14 months until disgorged off of the lees with zero dosage. Bottling took place in late June of 2023 with only 248 cases produced.
