2016 RMS Brut 10-Year Delayed Disgorgement

ABOUT THE RMS DELAYED DISGORGEMENT

Picture a harmonious blend of barrel-fermented Pinot Noir and Chardonnay base wines from various vineyard sites, united over a decade ago in this very bottle.

The marriage of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay into a complex, seamlessly fruity delight is a patient process, particularly exemplified in the case of this RMS Sparkler which has reached its pinnacle after ten years!

We offer this wine as a testament to Oregon’s ability to craft beautifully aged Méthode Champenoise sparkling, solidifying the Willamette Valley as the premier New World region for sparkling wines.

2016 VINTAGE NOTES

This growing season started with cool, wet spring weather, which created random, poor fruit set in some blocks. May and early June saw a few high heat spikes, but overall the summer’s warm, sunny weather kicked growth into gear. Then a cold, wet, “Alaska” front perked the vines up around the 17th of August. Refreshed fruit sailed into a beautiful fall harvest where growers and winemakers alike enjoyed a nice and steady pace of picking perfectly ripened wine grapes. The resulting wines are robust without losing that ROCO juicy-centered youthfulness.
