$14.00 per bottle
Description:
Estate grown, 20-year old Chambourcin vines yielded excellent fruit despite the unusually cold and wet summer and fall. Cold pressing of whole clusters along with cold fermentation (55F for 3 weeks) and the use of Prise de Mousse yeast emphasizes the bright fruit that is part and parcel of cool climate Chambourcin.
