Raptor Ridge 2021 Blanc De Noir Extra Brut

Tasting Notes

Crafted from whole-cluster Pinot Noir grapes gently pressed to avoid extracting color or harsh phenolics, this méthode traditionnelle sparkler opens with aromas of green apple, white peach, and crushed chalk. On the palate, it delivers a taut, linear profile with flavors of tart apple, citrus zest, and subtle baking spice, underscored by a fine mousse and brisk acidity. The wine’s extra brut style—meaning very low residual sugar—accentuates its purity and minerality, making it a refreshing aperitif or a versatile partner for food. It pairs beautifully with oysters on the half shell, sushi, goat cheese crostini, or light poultry dishes like lemon-herb roasted chicken. Its bright acidity and clean finish also complement richer fare such as creamy risottos or smoked salmon.
