2018 CHANNING DAUGHTERS "ROSATO - MUDD WEST VINEYARD" NORTH FORK OF LONG ISLAND PETILLANT NATUREL ROSE, NEW YORK. 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. (Certified Sustainable)

This delicious, fruity, fizzy Pet Nat rose composed of fruit from Channing Daughters of Long Island, NY. A true one of a kind, we love it's unctuous strawberry and raspberry aromas and flavors, delicate bubble, and fresh, juicy profile. The perfect year-round sipper from a standout East Coast producer.

About: The wines we have produced are part of an ancient tradition and are made in a process known as "Methode Ancestrale" and the wines are often referred to as Petillant Naturel or Pet-Nat's. This is how it works...we hand harvest the grapes, whole-cluster press them and settle the juice. We started wild/ambient fermentations in small stainless steel tanks and watched the ferments very carefully until they were at their tail-end. Then we coarsely filtered the wine and bottled it (with no sulfur dioxide or stabilization) in sparkling wine bottles closed with a crown cap to contain the carbon dioxide being given off by the continuing fermentation in bottle, trapping the gas in solution and making the wine sparkling. The wines are also not disgorged like traditional method sparklers and Champagnes...so you will see some sediment in the bottle from yeast lees and tartrate crystals. This is part of the charm, rusticity and deliciousness of this style of wine. Embrace the slightly cloudy nature when pouring out the end of the bottle...it is yummy (and arguably good for you), so bottoms up!" (winery)
