Palate

Aromas of Meyer lemon and honeydew melon, with delicate
notes of apple blossom, give way to flavors of pear, lemon zest, and a subtle minerality on the finish. A pleasant creaminess can also develop through time spent aging in the bottle.

Growing Conditions

The 2022 growing season was one we’d like to see every year. We had a mild but sunny spring, plenty of sun and heat throughout the summer, and a substantial drought extending
from mid-June through mid-August. We harvested early for the sparkling wines, and that fruit showed great development and chemistry. We had little rain in September, so disease
pressure remained lower than usual until mid-October. We were burdened with more rain than was ideal for mid-season harvesting. Fortunately, most of the sensitive varieties were already in the winery. Our vineyard crews' dedication to
canopy management is a big reason we get the quality fruit we do, even during challenging conditions.

Harvest

Vineyard Source: 67% Old Mission
Peninsula, 33% Leelanau Peninsula

Food Pairing

Seafood, light-flavored meats, light to medium sauces (particularly white and butter sauces), and mild cheeses.

Black Star Farms Blanc de Blanc Bottle Preview
Black Star FarmsBlanc de Blanc

This bubbly is for people who enjoy wine with complex aromas and flavors. The complexity found in this dry wine results from extended time on the yeast and in the bottle. Aging "en tirage" allows a superb flavor known as "goût de champagne" to develop in the wine. It has the classic characteristics of a true Champagne produced in that region of France.
