’Tis the season…
Harvest is complete. Our harvest interns are starting to pack to get home for Thanksgiving, and we’re prepping the winery for winter. For all of us here at Field Recordings, it’s time to slow down and recover — that means spending a little less time in Tin City, and preparing for more quality time at home.
When we started the Bubbles Club, we wanted the shipment to hit your doorstep right when you’re getting into the swing of the holiday season. There’s no better companion for your next gathering than a few special bottles of bubbles, perfect for sharing with friends and family.
We have three great sparkling selections to share with you this year.
The default shipment includes:
Monte 2024 (x2)
Extended Tirage
Pinnacles
We think you’ll love these bottles, but if you’d like to make any changes, log in to edit your order or email us at club@fieldrecordingswine.com. Check out the story behind each wine below.
Our Winter Bubbles Lineup
-
Monte
100% CHARDONNAY
$45 RETAIL / $38 CLUBOur best petillant naturel every year, made from 100% Chardonnay from Howard and Vicki Carroll's vineyard in the Edna Valley. The gnarly old vines still yield about 2 tons to the acre, and they just have perfect chemistry to make a perfect glass of bubbles. We swing through the field twice: First for CHAMPS, but we keep a small amount out on the vine a touch longer for Pet Nat. We gave this wine some extra bottle age this year to make sure it was settled down and really ready to sing upon release.
-
Pinnacles
100% CHENIN BLANC
$45 RETAIL / $38 CLUBThis is a methode champenoise Chenin Blanc, sourced from a younger section of of Chenin above the legendary 120-year-old vines at the historic Chalone Vineyard. While we keep the 100+ year old vines for our table wines, we take all of the younger block for bubbles. We pick the lot at the optimal ripeness for sparkling wine.
-
Extended Tirage
100% PINOT MEUNIER
$55 RETAIL / $47 CLUB
Only 200 bottles available!One very special part of the process in making sparkling wine is the time the wine spends in tirage. Tirage is the time in the bottle as it goes through its second fermentation and ages for a period of time with the sediment resting in the bottle. We held back a super small amount of our 2020 Champs to do some extended time in tirage and develop even more character from the sediment over time. The fine lees in the bottle really brings out all the flavors of fresh baked goods. As we continue down this sparkling wine adventure, look for more wines that go through extended tirage — it really takes things to another level. But it’s hard to be patient enough to give the wine five years in the cellar before release! Hopefully that patience is a well-received reward when you open up this bottle on New Year’s Eve.
