Picked on October 4, 2020, the grenache was fermented dry in a stainless steel tank. A Champenoise method was then used with presently fermenting cider and local honey to keep a bit of gas in the piquette upon bottling. The juice was then disgorged to release some of the energy and sediment from the wine bottles. The result is a textural but light pink sparkling beverage with low alcohol and refreshing aromatics.Nick SethiNick Sethi is an American-born photographer and bookmaker of Indian heritage currently living in NYC.
