J.K. Carriere Blanc De Noir 2011

Blog

Kudos to winemaker, Jim Prosser for turning out this utterly charming sparkling Pinot Noir. 2011 was the inaugural vintage, and was whole-cluster pressed then slowly fermented in neutral oak using native yeast. Crafted in the Méthode Champenoise tradition, the nose is delicately perfumed with hibiscus, rose hips, wild strawberries, blowsy fresh linen, and mint. Elegant and softly textured, and interlaced with melon, seedy raspberry and a sprinkling of minerality. Crisp finish. 12.5% ABV | Sample
