Carboniste Carbo-nation “Swim”

A blend of wine from 2021, 2022, and 2023 vintages, the wine was fermented and aged in barrel until bottling in order to develop texture and depth of flavor. Similar to a traditional sparkling wine, fresh yeast and sugar were added prior to bottling. The quantity of yeast in this case was considerably less than typical, so the light sediment could be left in the bottle prior to enjoying it. The wine fermented in bottle and continues to age on sediment, an asset that continues to protect and flavor the wine. Since the sugar ferments completely, the wine has no residual sugar.

A hybrid between a traditional sparkling wine and a Pét Nat. Albarino brings acidity and juiciness, while Pinot Noir lends the wine body and depth with age. The result was a hugely textural wine with citrus, confectionary, as well as yeast and cooked fruits.
