Castoro Bubbly is Here!

January 25, 2013

We can finally say that our Castoro Cellars Bubbly has arrived! This sparkling Brut wine is made in the traditional Methode Champenoise style and is sure to tantalize your taste buds! This is a dry sparkling wine with a crisp finish and is perfect for any celebration, special occasion or good old-fashioned relaxation.

I first had the opportunity to try the wine about a week ago and I was very impressed and pleased with the quality. I don’t often drink sparkling wines and when I do I prefer them to be dry. This wine is refreshingly dry while keeping a very nice acidity and flavor profile. Being made in the traditional style, the wine undergoes a secondary fermentation in the bottle, which gives it an authentic and natural effervescence.

The blend is 60% Chardonnay, 40% Pinot Noir and won Double Gold at the 2012 San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition. Tasting notes for the wine include: Citrus, Pear, and floral aromas with a hint of yeast. The fine mousse brings forth the light citrus- smooth and round in the mouth. Finish is crisp with a note of grapefruit.

The Brut will be available at our Tasting Room only for $30.00 a bottle. Stop by when you can and give this exciting new wine a try!

Cheers,

Luke
