Pleb Appalachian Sparkling
5 year base cuvée with fresh verjus as tirage. Seyval Blanc and Traminette vineyards are at 3000ft elevation while the Vidal vineyard is at 2200ft elevation. Both are managed directly by Plēb and use organic and bio-dynamic practices. House coined “Appalachian Sparkling Method” is a hybrid between Traditional Method and Charmat. Lab tests are done of the verjus to calculate juice/base wine ratio for optimal bubble. Fermentation is sparked with verjus and barrel lees and then is blended with the base wine in tank. The wine is raked from tank to Keg where it finishes for 6 months, before transferring to bottle. The result is an incredibly clean sparkling wine with consistent bubbles.
Acid is softened with aging on lees. Notes of lemon with a creamy finish.
