2022 Dorn Vineyard ‘Party Monster’ Pet Nat Sparkling Rosé

Grapes: Merlot, Zinfandel, Carignan and Grenache

Vineyard: Planted on seven acres in the 1960s, Randy Dorn continues to dry-farm his head-pruned vines  in the CCOF certified-organic style. He grows Carignane, Grenache and Petite Sirah. 

Method: All three varieties are foot crushed, macerated overnight, and then pressed together to a stainless tank for fermentation. After primary fermentation, the wine was racked off the lees. We made an addition of unfermented grape must before bottling. As always, bottled unfined, unfiltered, and with no addition of SO2. 

AVA:  Redwood Valley, Mendocino County

ABV: 12.5%

Case Production: 410 cases

Bottling Date: November 2022

Release Date: November 2024

Party Monster is one of our most popular wines and after the 2021 vintage didn't get bubbly we're very happy with this fizzy and fresh 2022 vintage. The wine expresses all of what these sunkissed old vines have to offer: complexity, density of fruit and many layers. After impatiently waiting to release it, it’s this wine’s time to shine.

Tastes like peach, tangerine, & tropical fruit punch.
