A gleaming pale gold in the glass, York Vineyards’ Brut Nature offers a delicate, persistent mousse. Crafted from 100% Pinot Gris from the 2017 vintage, two-thirds of this wine was aged in amphora, with 72 months on lees and no dosage—showcasing its pure, unfiltered character.

The nose opens with notes of freshly baked brioche, chalk, and a touch of smoke, underscored by chamomile and candied lemon. On the palate, it’s bone dry, with zesty lemon and a subtle cashew-like nuttiness balanced by chalky mineral depth. The fine mousse and vibrant acidity lead to a precise, citrus-driven finish with lingering hints of saline.

Sophisticated and bold, this Brut Nature captures the art of traditional method sparkling wines, with the potential to evolve beautifully over time.
