SILVER THREAD PETILLANT NATUREL 2024

Silver Thread Vineyard harnesses the unique terroir of Seneca Lake's eastern shore, where the lake's dramatic 200-foot depth creates cooling summer breezes and radiating winter warmth that extends the growing season on these rocky hillsides. Since 2011, pioneering winemakers Paul and Shannon Brock have employed bio-intensive farming methods—a holistic, no-till approach combining organic and biodynamic principles—to cultivate their 8-acre estate vineyard sustainably. Their 2024 Pétillant Naturel showcases this commitment through a field blend of estate-grown Aravelle, Cayuga, and Regent grapes, crafted using the traditional méthode ancestrale technique. This lightly sparkling wine delivers bright, fresh flavors reminiscent of green apple and wildflower honey with subtle earthy undertones, while gentle effervescence and natural sediment create an authentic, rustic character perfect for celebrations or casual sipping by adventurous wine lovers seeking something uniquely Finger Lakes.
