Las Jaras, Old Vines Sparkling Wine

Carignan

Organic

Mendocino, California, United States

This is the fourth vintage of our sparkling wine utilizing the unique method
that we call methode untraditionelle. We have found that many sparkling
wines can be quite gauche as a result of the compromises the
winemakers have to make with the traditional method. Our unique
method results in a wine that is very refined and elegant with nothing
forced. Here we find a copper hue, a nose of green strawberry, hay in the
breeze, toasted hazelnuts and marshmallow. On the palate there is
apricot, comice pear and cocoa enveloped in a fine texture. There is a
long finish with crisp lime like acidity. This wine will age beautifully over
the next several years.
