This mature vineyard ensures concentration and quality in the base wine. The winery’s terroir features rocky, lime-rich, shale soils, similar to the famed soils of Champagne, France.

- Tim Atkin MW: 92 Points (for the 2019 and 2020 vintages)
This wine displays a vibrant green hue. A fine, persistent bead of bubbles rises elegantly in the glass. You will find vibrant aromas of chamomile blossom and thatch. Subtle stone fruit and tropical notes complement the nose. The palate is beautifully balanced with an elegant structure. A fine mousse imparts a gentle explosion of bubbles on the palate. Silverthorn River Dragon MCC offers a long, satisfying finish. This MCC is fantastic as an aperitif. It pairs superbly with shellfish, duck pancakes, or trout.
