Beaver Creek Vineyards

Situated just below the shadow of Mount Saint Helena on the Lake County side of Highway 29, Horne Ranch has a unique mix of rich, volcanic soil and mountain valley loam. The ranch is ideally situated at 1000 feet, surrounded by mountains and valley streams.

We are releasing the first of our 2018 Sauvignon Blanc Pét-nat. Short for Pétillant Naturel, it was originally used in Limoux in the south of France in the early 16th century by winemaking monks. This artisanal method of sparkling wine is created by bottling wine that is only partially fermented allowing carbon dioxide to be produced by the natural sugars found in the grapes. Other traditional sparkling wines, like Champagne, add sugar and yeast to dry, still wine in order trigger a second fermentation and produce bubbles.
