About the Wine

The great sparkling wines of the world are blends or as the French would say, “Assemblage,” of multiple grape varietals, from multiple vintages, with different oak treatments, and differing levels of malolactic fermentation. These wines are blended to make a complex sparkling wine that matches the taste profile desired by the winemaking team. With this in mind, we have thought for many years that Evolution would make an amazing base wine for the production of a true, méthode traditionelle, sparkling wine. So, here it is.

This Evolution Sparkling is designated as a Brut level of sweetness. It comes across as dry due to the bubbles and acidity in the finished wine, making a vibrant wine that dances on the palate. This sparkling wine expresses aromatics of apricot, green apple, Bosc pear, with hints of white peach and citrus. The mouthfeel is slightly creamy from the secondary fermentation in the bottle, with a slight flintiness. Dry on the palate, it finishes crisp and clean.
