Our aim is to eventually find the genetic material for Petit Meslier and Arbane. The Manley vineyard would then have all 7 Champenoise varietals planted on this site, hence the name, 1+1=7, the math doesn't math..... yet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"On August the 13th 2024, we got our first crop from the vineyard, picking all components at once. The grapes were lightly pressed, oxidatively handled, and fermented in a single 60-gallon barrel before undergoing malolactic fermentation. In the spring of 2025, the wine was hand-bottled and achieved 5.2 atmospheres of pressure without fining or filtration before being left to age in bottle for an additional 18 months. The wine was then hand-riddled and disgorged without the addition of sulfur or dosage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"The sum is greater then its parts.\" – Tom Sherwood\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"The idea of BXT (which by the way stands for “Bubbles x Tom”) is to take a grower-Champagne mentality and apply it to top-quality, hand-crafted sparkling wines made in California. Tom seeks out interesting vineyard sites, makes very small batches of wines including oak aging base wines, hand-riddling, disgorging, and writing on every single bottle.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e – Ryan Woodhouse\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BXT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68004405051698,"sku":null,"price":69.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0754\/3206\/7378\/files\/2_7b9772c6-b455-4d1e-aeca-06f7a0e421d2.webp?v=1792543004","url":"https:\/\/slakesf.com\/products\/bxt-1-1-7-2024-sparkling-wine-manley-vineyard-los-carneros-sonoma-county","provider":"SLAKE San Francisco Bottle \u0026 Sundry","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
