The Mumm Napa vineyard team started picking grapes as the sun
rose over the horizon at the Green Island Vineyard in southern
Napa. The first truckload of freshly picked grapes rolled into Mumm
Napa’s Rutherford winery around 10 a.m., where their arrival was
celebrated by winemaker Ludovic Dervin. Dervin gave a traditional
toast to the start of harvest followed by a dramatic "sabering" of
a bottle of Mumm Napa sparkling wine. The winery’s celebratory
kickoff concluded with winery workers participating in a cork-pop
“salute,” simultaneously popping corks in unison, spraying each
other and excited onlookers with bubbly.
The 2017 vintage has been marked by welcomed plentiful winter
rain, followed by warm summer afternoon temperatures and cool
nights, for a steady and even ripening that pushed Mumm Napa’s
harvest into the first week of August this year. The weather was
ideal for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes, which are the primary
varieties used in making sparkling wine. Both are traditionally
harvested at lower ripeness levels than those used to create still
wine. The balanced warm afternoon and cold night temperatures
provided perfect hang time for fruit to maintain optimal acidity
and develop a fruit flavor complexity. Approximately 17 tons of
Pinot Noir were harvested by Mumm Napa early Monday morning.
“The summer months have been consistently blessed with cold
nights and warm and sunny afternoons, making for perfectly ripe
grapes,” said winemaker Ludovic Dervin. “So far it is a classic
Napa Valley vintage here at Mumm Napa.”
