We are excited to release the second edition of Sunlight Cuvée, a blend of Chenin Blanc and Chardonnay from two vineyards we've worked with for many years. This wine combines barrel-aged wine with freshly fermenting juice, drawing inspiration from the Traditional Method while maintaining the lively, approachable spirit of a pét-nat. After 12 months of aging in neutral oak, the wine was blended with juice from the 2024 vintage and bottled for secondary fermentation. It was then aged sur lie for 16 months before being hand disgorged. The name Sunlight Cuvée reflects the bright, optimistic character of the wine. A delicate balance of freshness, texture, and the unique personalities of these two beautiful grape varieties.
 
Frothy, energetic bubbles with aromas of lemongrass and lemony angel food cake, rounded by a soft culturedcream note. The palate is bright and high-acid, with flavors of honeycrisp apple, lime, and Japanese ume plums, with a touch of sweetness kept in check by that acidity. A little grip adds texture and structure, leading to a crisp, fresh finish. This wine leans classic in style, making it a natural match for Champagne-friendly foods like oysters, fried foods, potato chips, soft cheeses, smoked salmon, and roast chicken.
