a minimalist
approach to winemaking
organic fruit & natural fermentations
Our Ancestral Method wines contain no enological additions, apart from minimal SO₂ at disgorgement. This is made possible by sourcing grapes from organic vineyards with excellent soil health, producing high levels of Yeast Assimilable Nitrogen (YAN), essential for strong natural fermentations. This approach allows us to create unique, unaltered wines with exciting complexity and character.
"Pét-nat has a reputation for being unpredictable and at times a little funky but ... it’s part of what makes them exciting...You can, and absolutely should, check out Anderson’s fizzy selection in Seattle at Foundry’s Pioneer Square tasting room."
"This is a rare-for-the-state organic sparkling wine of an increasingly seldom seen variety. It was fermented with native yeast, and the aromas bring plenty of appeal, with notes of lemon, cut apple, apple skin and brioche. Bone-dry, quite austere citrus flavors follow. Acidity hounds, this one is for you. "
" It requires a bit of witchcraft to dial in sparkling wine using the ancestral method. Jay Anderson does it in Walla Walla with a sense of tropicality and without leaving a mess. Enjoy with popcorn topped by a dash or two of truffle salt."
