Alder Springs is a truly unique vineyard and this is a killer sparkling wine. It really needs a few years in the bottle, but I already drank all the bottles I ordered. Whoops.

Go California! These bubbles are working with the quirky Swedish food I'm throwing at it.

Very pale yellow color with plenty of active tiny bubbles. I got pie crust, green apple, lemon, chalk and a nuanced spice note on the nose. On the palate, the mousse is creamy with green apple, lemon, ginger, and a bit of apricot with a chalky minerality. Wonderful bubbly. Wish I'd left open in the fridge for a couple of hours has suggested. Will do next time! The wine was fermented in old French old barrels with native yeasts. After 7 months of aging, the wine was put into bottle for secondary fermentation and disgorged in June 2015 with 2 grams of dosage.

Gets better with air. This shows sharp acidity with apple, pear, and jasmine blossoms. Have loved each bottle of this more than the last, one of the best sparklers coming out of CA. Sign up for the waitlist now!

These guys are doing great things in California sparkling wine. Sign up for their list and give these a few years in the cellar.
