From the C5 vineyard in the heart of the Santa Ynez Valley, this organically farmed Albariño was their first foray into the world of sparkling wine. Made via simple methods, the grapes were picked at night on 9/18/2019, pressed with no skin contact and fermented warm to dryness. A portion of the juice was reserved, frozen, and later added to the finished wine, and bottled the next day, mid-November with 3. months of bottle age (en tirage), to finish the secondary fermentation in bottle. Unfined, unfiltered, no sulfur added, and not disgorged.

Stirm Wine's belief is that authentic wine is a direct reflection of the specific patch of earth it comes from. This ethos drives them to work with the most unique and rugged vineyards found on the central coast. These special sites have a story to tell unlike any other. With two simple goals that direct every operation above all else: to present the narrative of the growing season in a delicious and transparent format, and to craft a wine with a strong foundation intended to age for decades. The fundamentals that they follow are old-school; working with the seasons.
