Viansa '20 Los Carneros Blanc de Noirs Sparkling Wine
Made in a true Méthode Champenoise style, the base wine was fermented in the bottle to produce the elegantly small bubbles that lift the nose with aromas of stone fruits, citrus, and caramelized apples. The vibrancy carries the flavors in the mouth with notes of pineapple, lemon, river rocks and a slight yeasty finish. Pair with a hard cheese like parmesan or a pistachio crusted halibut with a citrus beurre blanc sauce.
Produced in the Méthode Champenoise, or traditional method. The base wine is 100% Pinot Noir. Following the Traditional Method there is a second fermentation with the Liqueur de Triage, a wine/sugar/yeast mixture, in bottle before the wine is riddled and disgorged. On the disgorge bottling line a dosage of wine and sugar tops off the bottles.
Label Artwork: Similar to the marble on the label of our Brut sparkling wine, this artwork conveys a celebration and matches the effervescence of our Blanc de Noirs sparkling wine. Differing from the Brut, this piece boasts copper inlay and purple tones – highlighting the more robust flavor profile, the longer time spent on triage, and the Pinot Noir grapes which create this Blanc de Noirs sparkling wine.
