Muscat Ottonel Pétillant Naturel

March 2, 2018 by Corey Ameele

2017 Muscat Ottonel Pétillant Naturel

Sparkling Wine

Estate Grown and Bottled
Finger Lakes

Pétillant Naturel (meaning “naturally sparkling”) is a beautifully simple, centuries-old method of making lightly sparkling wines that are usually produced and enjoyed soon after harvest. Our Muscat Ottonel grapes, with their lovely fruit and floral aromas, are perfectly suited to this style of wine. “Pét-Nats” are bottled before fermentation is complete, leaving a small amount of sugar to ferment in the bottle, which adds light carbonation, a velvety texture and a slightly cloudy appearance to the wine.

Viticulture

Grape. 100% Muscat Ottonel

Harvest date. October 3, 2017 at 20º Brix

Appellation. Finger Lakes

Viticulture notes. Muscat Ottonel is the first grape we pick each harvest, usually in mid-September. Early picking allow us to highlight the grape’s natural lemony-citrus character.

Winemaking

Winemaker. Matt Cassavaugh

Fermentation. Begun in stainless steel tanks at low temperature; finished in bottle

Casa Larga wine series. Winemaker

TTB ID. 17332-001-000681

UPC. 0-89817-01910-8

Year first produced. 2017

Winemaking notes. We lightly press our Muscat Ottonel grapes and leave the juice in contact with the skins for several hours to maximize varietal character. Fermentation is performed in stainless steel tanks at cool temperature. When the wine reaches 0.5 degrees Brix (about 15 g/L sugar), we bottle. Fermentation continues until the wine is bone dry. This ancient process involves no filtering, so the leftovers from fermentation (called “lees”) remain in the bottle and give Pét-Nats their characteristically hazy appearance.

Enjoying our Muscat Ottonel Pétillant Naturel 

Availability.

  • At our winery in Fairport
  • At com for direct shipment to residences and workplaces in 37 states.

Aging. Store at cool temperature (about 55º) and out of direct sunlight. This wine is produced to be enjoyed young and fresh, i.e. within 1 year of bottling.

Serving temp. 45ºF

Tasting notes. Our dry, rustic Muscat Ottonel Pétillant Naturel has a fragrant floral nose, a soft citrus mid-palate, and a clean finish.  

Pairing suggestions. A delicious little apéritif, to enjoy both on its own and with tapas or savory hors-d’oeuvres.

Muscat Ottonel Late Pick

March 2, 2018 by Corey Ameele

2016 Muscat Ottonel Late Pick

Estate Grown and Bottled
Finger Lakes

Wines produced from the Muscat family of grapes have been prized for centuries for their vibrant fruit and floral aromas that translate beautifully into naturally sweet dessert wine styles.

Viticulture

Grape. 100% Muscat Ottonel

Harvest date. November 1, 2016

Appellation. Finger Lakes

Viticulture notes. Muscat Ottonel is the first grape we pick each harvest, usually in mid-September. We also leave a small number of clusters on the vine. If our October weather cooperates, the grape berries will ripen further and desiccate slightly, but the skins will remain intact. Hand-picking these grapes in late October or early November allows us to produce a naturally sweet wine that is balanced beautifully by the Muscat Ottonel grape’s floral and citrus character.

Winemaking

Winemaker. Matt Cassavaugh

Fermentation. In stainless steel tanks at low temperature.

Vintage. 2016

Alcohol by volume. 7.5%

Aging. Stainless steel

Residual sugar. 5.0%

IRF sweetness scale. Sweet

Acidity. pH 3.6, TA 6.0 g/L

Bottling date. March 17, 2017

Vegan. Yes

Casa Larga wine series. Winemaker

TTB ID. 17167-001-000087

Winemaking notes. We lightly press our Muscat Ottonel grapes, and leave the juice in contact with the skins for several hours to maximize varietal character. Fermentation is performed in stainless steel tanks at cool temperature. The wine is then aged in stainless steel tanks and bottled to capture the wine’s aromatic qualities at their peak.
