Hammerling Burden of Dreams Blanc de Noirs 2019

Country: USA

Region: Central Coast

Type: Sparkling Wine

Grape: Pinot Noir

Fruit comes from Escolle Vineyard in Monterey County and this wine is Hammerling's first single vineyard, single vintage release from this site.

The grapes were harvested at 18.5 brix and fermented in stainless steel. The wine was aged in barrel for 6 months before bottling for secondary fermentation. It was aged 15 months in bottle before being disgorged by hand.

Burden of Dreams has amazing flavor development at low sugar levels,  with notes of red apple, river rocks, marzipan, and pomelo. It is ready to drink now, but will also age beautifully for the next 10+ years.
