24 months on lees; traditional bottle fermentation
An imagined wine story, created for our fictional catalog.
Sunday Signal 2022 is our fictional expression of Traditional Method Brut from North Coast. Its tasting profile starts with apple, brioche, bright mousse. The imagined producer, Sunday Signal Cellars, works toward a wine that feels at home with food: expressive on the first pour, then more detailed as it settles into the glass. This bottle gives the collection a distinct starting point without asking you to commit your whole case to one style.
A fine, persistent mousse lifts the fruit and gives the palate an airy opening. Fresh acidity provides the structure, while a soft, savory note adds depth through the finish. The intended style is dry and food-friendly, with the bubbles contributing texture rather than overpowering the wine.
For this fictional bottling, a second fermentation in bottle is followed by extended time on lees. That rest is imagined to build the gentle biscuit character and integrate the mousse. A restrained finishing dosage keeps the overall impression bright while giving the palate a rounded edge.
Chill well, open gently and pour into a tulip-shaped glass with room for the aromas to gather. Try it with salted almonds, crisp vegetable fritters or a savory pastry. The combination of acidity and texture makes it useful beyond a first toast, especially with lightly fried or creamy dishes.

Sparkling & mousse
Apple lifted by mousse
Apple gives the first impression, with brioche adding a savory cushion beneath the bright mousse. The bubbles should contribute texture rather than simple fizz. This fictional Brut makes most sense as a food-friendly opening bottle.

Food & pairing
More than a first toast
Apple and brioche suggest a pairing with savory pastry or crisp vegetable fritters. The mousse should lift the richer mouthfuls. I would keep it on the table after the opening glass rather than move straight to another wine.

Clarity & finish
Bright, with a savory close
The apple note stays distinct as brioche enters the picture. The finish is clean, though the profile is more comfortable than surprising. Its strength is the balance between fresh fruit and a restrained savory impression.
