Our 2019 Moonglow Pinot Noir brings a refinement, focus, and beauty to the Moonglow lineup that shows off the maturity of Lichen's estate vineyard. Even in its youth, pitch perfect cherry notes let you know we grow it at the heart of Anderson Valley. 

Our 2019 Pinot Gris continues Lichen’s rich and racy take yet on this dazzlingly aromatic varietal. Grippy lemon and grapefruit dance out of the glass and leave your mouth awash in citrus joy. 

This tantalizing expression of Lichen Estate's vineyard displays all the complexity and nuance one has come to expect from our barrel select Estate Pinot Noir. The 2018 vintage offers rich, round fruit, with Anderson Valley's signature cherry notes, silky tannins, and a forever finish. Built to cellar, this wine will develop and improve for a decade.

The 2018 Les Pinots Noir & Gris follows the racy, focussed tradition of this bottling since its inception in 2012. WIth 70% of the fruit coming from sparkling wine press cuts this is an acid lover's dream. Add in the lemony citrus notes and a savory finish of crushed granite and you will see why our white wines are unique, none more than this gem.

This innovative White Pinot Noir tastes like no other. Jazzy white peach and nectarine stone fruit balanced by racy acidity dance across the palate. Fermented mostly in stainless, it went on to age for a year in Hungarian and French oak puncheons, bringing a weight and texture all its own. Off dry on the entry, it finishes mouthwatering and savory. 

Lichen Estate's Blanc de Gris 2013 Magnum represents the best of our pure Pinot Gris sparklers to date. Treated like our Grand Cuvée, it received four and a half years en tirage, on the yeast, and another two under cork prior to release, giving it a toasty and smoky character all its own. An all-stainless elevage for the base wine delivers Lichen's Blanc de Gris' laser focus and pure fruit expression. The magnum version will age beautifully and improve for years to come.

Lichen's 2017 White Pinot Noir delivers a gorgeous floral nose followed by a mouthfull of gravelly minerality and stone fruit. This unique wine, fermented mostly in stainless went on to age for a year in Hungarian oak puncheons, bringing a weight and texture all its own. Off dry on the entry, it finishes mouthwatering and savory.  

Lichen’s tête de cuvée, the Grand Cuvée spent four and a half years en tirage. All that time on lees in the bottle delivers extraordinary complexity in the glass. A lightly toasted brioche and hazelnut greets the nose. Layer on layer of citrus flows over the palate. This dazzling sparkler will go toe-to-toe with any grower-producer or Grand Marque tête de cuvée vintage Champagne… we encourage you to compare for yourself with the “brown bag challenge”!
