Brick & Mortar Brut Nature

$23.00

2022 vintage. Founded by Matt and Alexis Iaconis, Brick & Mortar focuses on high-elevation, cool-climate sites across California's North Coast. This bottle is a traditional méthode champenoise blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir that spends over three years resting on its lees (the spent yeast cells that give great bubbly its magical texture).

Because it is a Brut Nature, there is zero sugar added before final corking. What you get is pure, high-altitude electricity: bright green apple, snappy citrus zest, a faint whisper of fresh herbs, and a structural chalkiness that keeps your palate begging for another sip.

Grape(s):

  • Pinot Noir
  • Chardonnay

Appellation:

  • North Coast

Vineyard Notes: Grown on lean, well-draining soils (like the Haire clay loam of their cool-climate coastal blocks), the vines have to work hard. The extreme diurnal shift (the temperature swing between day and night) causes a painfully slow ripening process. This allows the grapes to develop deep phenolic maturity, complex phenolic character, and incredible texture without spiking in sugar.

Winemaking Notes: 3+ Years on Lees, No added sugar, no filter

Serving Temperature:

  • Icy (38-45F)

Food Pairing: fresh oysters, salty potato chips, or good friends

Closure: Sparkling Wine Cork
