Treat yourself to a very special wine, just released! What makes our Sparkling so unique? Grenache Blanc is a rare grape varietal in the U.S. and we don’t know of another sparkling Grenache Blanc. Hand picked, whole cluster pressed, this 100% Grenache Blanc is cool fermented in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks and then re-fermented in the old-world méthode Champenoise style.

Production Notes
All of our grapes are hand-picked and immediately pressed as whole clusters to capture the fresh, flavorful Grenache Blanc character. The grapes were harvested in the early morning to keep acidity at its highest, providing the vibrancy in the wine. The juice is then cool fermented in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks to highlight the pure fruit expressions.
April 2019 tirage with disgorgement in June 2020.

We love this sparkling wine - bright and refreshing, it is one of our favorites. We paired it on New Years Eve with an egg and caviar mousse -- just exquisite!
