NV Brut Nature - Sparkling Pointe

Bright lemon zest, freshly-baked croissant, crunchy green apple. Sour kumquat, crushed straw, underripe nectarine. Crisp and energetic shockwaves of citrus peel, Asian pear, and grapefruit pith reverberate with puckeringly tart electricity while met by brioche and white flowers in a delightfully delicate yet mouth-filling display. Impressions of sourdough bread and cheese rind advance a thread of infatuating leesy complexity while a mild suggestion of dried grass provides just a pinch of natural flair. Pretty hints of fine-grained soil and smooth minerality impart subtle earthy undercurrents that do not offset vibrations of pure-fruited vitality and autolytic charm. Excitingly bone dry and radiant on the palate with unquestionably impressive texture and nerve; exhibiting outstanding precision and an exhilarating punch of raw intensity that integrates within tight and beautifully textured effervescence. Medium in body and carried by a bewitching streak of high acidity. This NV Brut Nature by Sparkling Pointe is an incredibly compelling, crunchy, and classic Méthode Champenoise bubbly from the North Fork of Long Island. 

While Long Island may be best known as the home of some of New York's most bustling urban boroughs, the North Fork of Long Island surprisingly produces some incredibly serious and extremely high quality wine. This bottling, crafted by Sparkling Pointe using a blend of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Pinot Meunier sourced from their estate vineyard on Long Island's North Fork, showcases just how dazzling the wines of this unique cool climate region can be. Thanks to three full years spent aging on its lees followed by a dosage of zero grams of sugar per liter, this wine writhes with impressively nervy citrus-led fruit enhanced by captivating leesiness and soft mineral tones. It is mesmerizingly vibrant and unquestionably authentic; presenting Long Island as a worthy challenger to any of the world's greatest sparkling wine regions. Exceptional.
