It’s rare that winemakers are given the opportunity to blend wines from different states, vintages, and to a lesser degree varieties, but our Elements Brut has always embodied a bit of a “devil may care” attitude.  Awarding ourselves that freedom has provided us with unexpected harmony and layers of character that would never exist within our perceived traditional boundaries. A significant portion of this blend – Chardonnay and Syrah – spent 16 months in barrel, lending depth, structure, and a subtle richness beneath the bright, lively sparkle, while the Viognier and Roussanne provide freshness and aromatic intensity.  The result is a wine that doesn’t just follow the rules of sparkling – it bends them to create something layered, fresh, and completely its own.
