Description

The new vintage of our Fesstivity Brut Cuvée is finally here! Our most complex sparkling wine to date, the 2020 Brut Cuvée is comprised of 75% Pinot Noir and 25% Chardonnay and spent an additional time en tirage.

This vintage also marks an exciting milestone for our sparkling wine program, as all 2020 Fesstivity wines are sourced exclusively from Parker West Vineyard in the Sta. Rita Hills, a vineyard planted by the family in 2008. As this vineyard matured, winemakers Blair Fox and Tyler Eck identified it as the ideal source of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir for our Fesstivity wines.

This wine is a pale straw color and has fine, persistent bubbles. It is light and flowery on the nose and has a palate dominated by lemon cream, pear, roasted cashew and a hint of nectarine.
