Patton Valley Petillant Naturel Riesling is made from 100 percent Riesling.Good friends and good wine make this funny world go round, right Without those friends letting us buy some of their precious Riesling, we couldnt make this delicious wine. Even if we did have to beg. A little. We are using some really great vineyard sites to make this wine, and they are as erse as they are excellent. Preserving the inherent riesling-ness is as important here as making this sparkle, so weve been extra careful to be clean, true, and simple with this. Native yeast ferments and minimal handling with fastidious cleanliness make this an absolute natural wonder. A small dosage of organic sugar kicks off the bottle ferment to make it sparkle.This smells like apples, pears, apricot, and the sea. Not kidding. The palate is fizzy, fun, and fresh with an appley bite and pear - almond lushness. All angles and elbows, the lees and sediment widen the palate with pleasing breadth.VINEYARDS:25% Norris McKinley, Ribbon Ridge AVA - LIVE50% Windridge, Chehalem Mountains AVA - LIVE25% Wascher, Dundee Hills AVA - USDA Organic pH: 3.04
