Little more yeast and a little more sugar makes it carbonated/sparkling


Champagne Method- using traditional grapes (PN, Chardonnay and Pinot M) but can be from any where

Naturale- zero dosage which means no sugar added

Brut- little bit of sugar, but still dry. Little sugar added allows for second fermentation in the bottle.

Cava has just as strict laws as champagne. Originally called Spanish champagne. 100% in the Champagne region. Use common Spanish grapes. Can only use approved grapes.

Fun Fact- if you do a rosado,’it has to only be a 100% of one particular grape. Can not be a blend.

Champagne taste on a great budget.

This wine looks, smells and tastes like an elegant Pinot Noir despite the fact that the grapes gets fourth billing. Cabernet Franc, Pinot Meunier and Merlot lead the way, with Gamay bringing up the rear. The color is very strong for a rosé, and the Meunier brings a note of Champagne to the mix while the Cab Franc is pronounced on the palate. This drinks like a red wine without the tannic structure. It's very pleasant and leaves a bit of tea on the finish. Quite nice. — 6 years ago

A nice chardonnay from a winery we've always enjoyed. Notes of butterscotch and caramel and even a hint of apple (such as honey crisp). Lemon on the palate, as well as oakiness, with slight acidity at the end. — 3 years ago
