Achillee Pepin Cremant Extra Brut 2023
This zero-zero, certified biodynamic and certified organic Cremant from Alsace in France is an absolute stunner that will fool even the most discerning Champagne aficionados. Comprised of 35% Auxerrois, 30% Pinot Gris, 25% Pinot Blanc and 10% Chardonnay, this is yeasty and toasty, with freshly baked croissant on the nose and a dry, racy palate layered with brioche, white grapefruit, crushed sea salt and lemon zest. Top-notch, super elegant bubbly.
Alta Alella Mirgin Cava Rose Reserva Brut Nature 2020
Made of 100% Monastrell, this stellar certified organic Cava Rosé Reserva was grown on granite soils in the Spanish appellation of Penedes, in Catalonia. Pale pink in hue, this is velvety, plush, and salty on the palate with vivid notes of berries and cream, invigorating acidity, and a bone-dry, mineral core. Being a Brut Nature Reserva, there was no dosage added and the wine was aged on its lees for 46 months.
Meinklang Epic Pet-Nat 2023
This certified biodynamic and certified organic Pet-Nat from Burgenland in Austria features an exotic, floral blend of Gruner Veltliner, Welschriesling and Muscat. Incredibly fragrant and lifted, this delivers bold aromatic notes of jasmine, lychee, pineapple and white nectarine backed by a fine, creamy mousse. Pet-Nat, also called Methode Ancestrale, is made by bottling partially-fermented wine under a crown cap and trapping the natural CO2 that is caused by the fermentation.
L’archetipo Marasco Brut Nature 2023
This yeasty, exotic, certified organic and certified biodynamic sparkler from the region of Salento in Puglia is comprised of 100% Marasco, a very unique grape that's indigenous to this part of southern Italy. Fermented using Methode Ancestral with native yeasts, this is unfined and unfiltered, has zero dosage, and boasts a golden yellow hue. Dry and savory, this very complex bottling delivers gorgeous notes of sea salt, toasted hazelnuts, orange blossom honey, baked quince and persimmon.
