If sailing on a clear day with a mist of sea spray hitting your face could be bottled, this would be it. Super crisp, abundant fine bubbles with hints of #salinity and leesy goodness on the nose & palate, it's one joyous #sparkling. — 11 years ago
#Muscadet lovers take note! Sommelier-turned-vintner @Eric Railsback does its Melon grape proud with characteristic mouth-watering acidity, sea-inflected #salinity and that warm sun-kissed fruit California does so well. — 11 years ago

A perfect example of how challenging conditions often produce the most charactered wines. From the Canary Island of Lanzarote, the vines are grown in small pits dug into the black #volcanic soil to protect them from the intense Saharan & Atlantic winds. The grape is native to the island, and the #salinity and minerality carry to the glass layered with notes of cumin, bay leaf and faint goat cheese-like tang. — 11 years ago
