This is a sunnyBlanquette de Limoux Brut Naturefrom Sverin Bariozwho worksfour hectares of vines in the south of France.

Tasting Notes: Notes of honeycrisp apples are whisked away bya swift wind of overgrown grass. With abright palatefullof dry and creamy bubbles, this is an elegant, integrated, and distinct Blanquette.

Vinification: 90% Mauzac, 10% Chenin Blanc from 25 year old vines in Calce (Roussillon). This is a traditional method sparklerwith rigorous technique. The grapes are separately direct-pressed in whole bunches before racking the juice off of its heavy lees. Once racked, the separate juicesgo through theirfirstalcoholic fermentations. Now they are blended into what is known as Vin Clair. Dosage is added to kick-start secondary fermentation. The wines are then aged 18 months sur latte at Domaine Delmas in Limoux before disgorgement and final bottling.
