Tasting Notes
A bright and playful sparkling wine that showcases a unique union of cool-climate Sauvignon Blanc from Washington State and aromatic La Crescent from Minnesota. This bubbly offers an energetic profile with vibrant fruit character, lively acidity, and a clean, refreshing finish.
Aroma
The nose opens with an expressive burst of citrus zest from the La Crescent, followed by green apple, and white peach. Complimenting these are light floral tones of elderflower with a beautiful minerality.
Palate
On the palate, the wine is crisp and light-bodied, with fine bubbles that carry light layers of citrus fruit like lime and lemon. Sauvignon Blanc contributes structure and citrusy freshness, while La Crescent elevates the fruit and floral profile. The finish is clean and zesty, with lingering notes of lemongrass and grapefruit.
Food Pairing
This bubbly shines alongside fresh seafood—think oysters, shrimp ceviche, or paella. It’s also a perfect match for spicy Asian cuisine, lemon goat cheese salads, and light appetizers like prosciutto-wrapped melon or lemon-herb bruschetta. For a local twist, pair with Minnesota walleye or a summer corn salad.
Aging Potential
Best enjoyed young to preserve its lively fruit and aromatic vibrancy, this sparkling wine will remain fresh and expressive for up to 2–3 years. While not intended for long-term aging, its crisp structure and vibrant acidity ensure it holds beautifully through its early years.
