"Our California Immersion is a unique blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier from the four vineyards we worked with in 2022. Grapes were gently pressed, oxidatively handled, and fermented with Native yeasts in used French oak. The wine was assembled and hand bottled in February of 2022 after completing primary and Malolactic fermentation, without fining or filtration. After 12 months on lees, the bottles were hand riddled then disgorged without sulfur or dosage."

 - winemaker's notes

"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."
