2019 Cruse Wine Co Demo Series Traditional Method Valdiguie Sparkling Rose Alentejo yet detailed fruitOrganic. Valdigui (Napa Gamay) from Terry Wilsons Rancho Chimiles vineyard in Wooden Valley, Napa Valley AVA. A cooler region in south Napa, nestled against the Vacas mountains. Persistent mid morning fog prevents extreme temperatures. Vines are 40+ years old. There is no tillage in the vineyard with a permanent cover crop on silt loam soils. We often make the Valdigui from Rancho Chimiles as a pt nat, but conditions in 2019 allowed us to experiment.
