This salmon-pink sparkling rosé has aromas of torn roses, fresh strawberries, and a hint of spice. It has a nice texture that balances the clear acidity. The vineyard is located at 430m above sea level on the eastern side of Sonoma Mountain AVA, overlooking the town of Glen Ellen to the east and Bennett Valley to the northwest. Sonoma Mountain was once on the bottom of the Pacific Ocean, so the soil is marine sedimentary rock as well as speckle loam and tuff. The area around Van Der Camp's vineyard is known to have been inhabited by indigenous people (the Coast Miwok) for thousands of years, and agriculture has been practiced here for hundreds of years. Due to the influence of the Coast Miwok, who believed that humans were born on the mountaintops, Sonoma Mountain itself is still a sacred place of religious importance. Van Der Camp's Pinot Noir is the oldest grape in California, having been produced since 1953. The 1.1 hectares of Pinot Meunier were planted in the early 1990s. The grapes were harvested on August 24, 2016, and fermented in old French oak barrels using wild yeasts, without adding any sulfites. The free sulfite content was kept below 10mg/L for 11 months after the first fermentation, and the wine was bottled and then fermented in the bottle for a second time. The wine was aged on the lees for 32 months and then disgorged. The brand is owned by Samantha Sheen, a genius female winemaker who is a hot topic among American wine lovers. Samantha began studying winemaking after a trip to Burgundy. Behind the world's most famous and expensive Burgundy wines are the humble and homely winemakers, and she was fascinated by the strict and honest world of wine. After returning to California, Samantha founded POE. Their motto is not to produce imitations of "Burgundy wine made in California," but to produce limited quantities of attractive, elegant, single-vineyard wines that are carefully crafted with a strong sense of California's terroir and can be aged for a long time.
