Wine Profile

Tasting Notes

Made in a methode-traditionnelle style, we wanted to make a great sparkling wine using Malvasia Bianca, a non traditional grape for this style of wine. Orange blossoms, green apple, apricot, peaches, and nectarine are enhanced by the creamy mouthfeel. Tiny bubbles from the extended aging has softened the tannins and balances the acid. Technically a Brut, we are thrilled with the outcome of our first Sparkling wine.

Vineyard Notes

Grown exclusively in our estate vineyard on our winery property. Betty's Vineyard has grown this unique Italian varietal for 20+ years. As one of the only growers in Napa , we wanted to show the special characteristics of the Malvasia Bianca. Although a rare varietal in Napa, this grape belongs in the soil it is planted.

Winemaker Notes

A project started for the staff several years ago, our assistant winemaker saw some potential in what we first made.
