Winemaker Notes
Folktale sparkling wine begins in the vineyard, early. The Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes for our sparkling Rosé have to be picked at a lower sugar level than for our still wines, so we tend to harvest three weeks before we begin picking fruit for our still wines. For our first bottling of sparkling wine, we envisioned a wine that was bright, fun to drink, and food friendly. After the wine finished its primary fermentation, we put the blend together in a stainless steel tank and kicked off the secondary fermentation in tank, allowing the wine to gain its effervescence before bottling. We targeted a softer, less aggressive style that was more like the texture of a prosseco or frizzante wine – perfect for a sunny day in Carmel Valley.
