Description
Savagnin is an extraordinary varietal which has the same DNA as the Traminer varietal. Because of its multi-faceted personality, there are many ways to work with Savagnin. In 2018 they were ready to produce a bubbly out of this grape. No sugar, no added yeasts, just the ripe fruit, 90% from vintage 2018 and 10% from vintage 2019 as it began fermenting. Disgorgement took place after 13 months.
Brut as in « dry », S for Savagnin, and zero (°) for no dosage… 2018 was the first vintage of Pelican’s sparkling Savagnin. The ripe fruit gives the wine its vinous character, and the classic organoleptic qualities of the Savagnin grape bring vivacity, tension, and vibration. The aromatics are bright and clean. The mouth is long and delicate.
