Production:

The Alma Assemblage was hand-harvested from 60 single vineyard sites and 91 individual selections. Reserve wines of Chardonnay from the 2014, 2019, and 2020 vintages and Pinot Noir from the 2019 and 2020 vintages were selectively blended to enhance complexity. After 30 months of bottle fermentation, disgorgement, and an Extra Brut dosage of 3.5 g/L, the wine undergoes six months of bottle aging.
