This is fun! Great zip and energy, refreshing as hell like drinking your favorite La Croix but with booze. Crisp peach and citrus, asian pear, a hint of white flowers, lees, flint, some of that classic bitterness you’d expect from Albariño. Breaking it down is fun and all but literally it tastes exactly how it sounds which is great 3g/L dosage 3 month on lees

Hands down, one of the funnest wines to find me during quarantine: a champagne-style sparkler made from Albariño grapes grown in the Sacramento River Delta. This zany experiment has become the flagship wine from young husband and wife team (combining knowledge from the cellars of Schramsburg and the branding powerhouse of Vintage Wine Estates and Naked Wines). Fresh fruit abounds: ripe pear, nectarine, green apple, a hint of oyster shell (tank fermentation followed by short bottle fermentation preserves fruit and reduces secondary autolytic characteristics). Bottled only a few months ago, so bubbles were extra excited and poppy. Same, Carboniste, same...
