Racy and tart, bone dry, with mineral expressions. A pick-me-up for the palate.
– Winery notes

The Woodenhead Natural 2019 Brut is a Méthode Champenoise style single vineyard selection from the Russian River Valley. It’s bright, tart and lemony with long strands of pearlescent bubbles. Complex and layered with flavors of melon, ginger, citrus, and yellow apple. The finish is bone dry and savory with earthy notes of mushroom and briny oysters. Elegant and austere, like James Bond in a tuxedo—it’s a structured wine but without the pretension. Pair with Pomme frites and aioli.

Wine of the Month, Wineroad, December 2021
A profusion of fine bubbles bring a fresh foamy lift of citron and crème brulee to the nose. An abundance of flavors prevail upon on the palate with apple cobbler, orange zest, apricot, candied ginger and toasted almonds. The dry and crisp finish has a touch of quince and honeydew melon that is both lively and refreshing. Austere yet elegant, the Woodenhead Natural is the essence of celebration
