Piper Sonoma Brut Rosé
Sonoma County, California, USA
Tasting Notes
Our Brut Rosé has aromas of freshly picked berries, tangerine and guava. The palate is bursting with red fruits and citrus, with a zippy acidity and a long finish.
Winemaking Notes
Small parcels of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Blanc are hand picked and brought directly to the winery. Each parcel is pressed and fermented separately, creating an extensive selection of base wines to choose from. Winemaker Keith Hock then tastes each component and selects those base wines that show potential to produce exceptional wine. The cuvée is placed en tirage for secondary fermentation in the bottle prior to disgorgement. Finally, a small percentage of older reserve wine is included in the liqueur d'expedition adding further complexity and texture.
Vineyard Notes
With nearly forty years of experience in Sonoma County, the winemaking team source from more than 20 growers, some of whom, like the Greene, Young and Ledbetter families, have been supplying grapes for more than three decades. Many growers have adopted voluntary no-till farming practices, with a strict adherence to hillside ordinances. Sustainable agriculture and integrated pest management techniques have been integrated and organic or naturally derived fertilizers are utilized, while composted grape material is used as fertilizer to increase water efficiency and help build soil structure.
