The Hilt Estate Sparkling, Sta Rita Hills, USA 2020

Citrus zest, white flowers and fresh apricot. Brims with minerality and notes of crushed stone. Ultra fine mousse and a delicate textural elegance. With less than 1.5g/L dosage, this wine remains tense and poised while also expressing great tenderness and suppleness. Hint of salt on finish. Buoyed by a chalky structure that keeps the wine lively and long on the palate. Precise and joyful vintage for our flagship sparkling. - Matt Dees, Winemaker  60% Pinot Noir and 40% Chardonnay
