The Story
The fun-loving sister act to one of the Finger Lakes' most serious sparkling projects. Limnad is the label Nancy Irelan and Mike Schnelle (of Red Tail Ridge on Seneca Lake) reserve for their bubbly â debuting in 2025, splitting time between mĂ©thode champenoise wines and these immediate, joyful pĂ©tillant naturels. Nancy brought a Ph.D. in grape genetics and twelve years running Gallo's viticulture R&D before going regenerative in the Finger Lakes; the winery is LEED Gold certified, runs on geothermal, and uses a weed knife instead of herbicides. The Pinot RosĂ© Pet Nat is bottled before fermentation finishes so the bubbles form naturally in-bottle, then released more or less immediately â sometimes still working. Pale, dry, lightly hazy, brightly fruited Pinot Noir with a snap of CO2 and zero pretense.
