2019 La Perle
This traditional method and traditional varietal sparkling wine resembles the prestige wines of Champange France. Made from the Trinity of Champagne grapes grown here on Old Mission and Leelanau Peninsula; Chardonnay, Pinot noir, and Pinot Meunier. This beautiful blend was crushed together and made to retain fruit esters, but also delivers those delicious bready notes that high quality Champange is known for.

Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
Bright and refreshing acidity with notes of citrus blossom and ripe apple give way to strawberry almond shortcake biscuit ending with an effervescent mouthfeel.
Vineyard Notes
Harvested from both Old Mission and Leelanau Peninsulas these three varietals express their individuality producing a dynamic yet traditional expression of Champagne.
Winemaker Notes
This wine demonstrates a key component to sparkling wine, a strong backbone of acidity balanced with a roundness from sur-lee aging. The flavor evolves from the front to the back palate giving way to the expression of the yeast characters.
Food Pairing Notes
Shellfish, calamari, Mediterranean cuisine, tapenade salad, fresh fruit and sorbet.
Production
Three varietals crushed together. Traditional method fermentation with 3 year bottle aging before disgorgement.
