It's under long-term contract now, and all the fruit goes into this wine: ~250 cases per year, no more.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the cellar, Two Shepherds handles it the way they handle everything: native yeast fermentation in half-ton bins, aging in neutral barrels, zero fining, zero filtration, minimal SO2. The result tastes exactly like the vineyard — light, transparent, built around the grape's natural acidity and red-fruit core.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePinot Meunier is almost never bottled as a varietal still wine in California. In Champagne it's blended for its early ripening.
