WINERYVintner Jim Carter envisioned the winery and resort and brought

together the most skilled and talented winemakers to craft incredible

blends of exquisite wines. Our resort is devoted to your complete

relaxation, and every wine is aged to perfection for your enjoyment.

MÉTHODE CHAMPENOISEWhile you will be able to indulge in both still and sparkling wines at our

winery resort, sparkling wine is the only style wine that we produce

at the Carter Estate Winery and Resort wine production facilities. Our

wine makers utilize the méthode champenoise process, a traditional

and labor-intensive method, to create our elegant and mysterious

sparkling wines.

It is true that Champagne can only be made in the Champagne region

of France, from grapes only grown there. Methode Champenoise may

be used on bottle fermented sparkling wines made anywhere outside

of the Champagne region.

The process involves first creating and bottling a still wine, which is the

first fermentation. Then, we add yeast and sugar to create a second

fermentation and seal off the bottle. These ingredients create carbon

dioxide, and because it cannot escape, it dissolves into the wine. Once

this fermentation process is complete, we age the wine for a minimum

of a year and a half, after which the bottles are riddled. The next

step involves removing the yeast and sediment, which we follow by

topping off the bottle with a little more wine and extra sugar, a practice

called dosage.
