About our Sparkling Wine
A traditional sparkling wine created from a blend of Pinot noir and Pinot blanc. Gentle pressing and barrel fermentation create a delicious base for our wine. Secondary fermentation in the bottle creates both the bubbles and the complex flavor and character of fine sparkling wine. Finally, extended aging in the bottle allows the wine to interact with the fermentation lees to create fine, delicate bubbles that linger in your glass and explode on your palate.

2018 vintage “A yeasty character delivers on the nose along with notes of ripe nectarine, cantaloupe and some freshly baked brioche. The palate is fresh and vibrant with a tight mousse and flavors of green apple and underripe stone fruits.” 91 points International Wine Report May 2021
2016 vintage “Wow, what a delicious sparkler! It’s layered with traditional flavors of almonds, apples and brioche—medium bodied with a good dose of acidity. The winery paired their sparkler with scallops, and I have to say they made a fabulous choice on the pairing.” 92 points, Enobytes.com
2016 vintage “Aged beyond secondary fermentation for 18 months, the 50/50 blend of Pinot Noir and Pinot Blanc features a clean nose of Asian pear, Granny Smith apple, dried herbs and lemon peel. The profile of bubbles blossoms into a pleasing spritz that brings Asian pear, more green apple and a lively finish of lime that makes for a super-clean and bright fruit-filled finish.” Rating: Outstanding! -Great Northwest Wine.
