"Made in a dry style from 100% estate grown, single vineyard Central Otago fruit. Fermented in stainless steel using wild yeasts with time on lees, the wine displays citrus and flint aromatics with a pleasing minerality complemented by tropical fruits on the palate. Elegantly textured with a crisp and lasting finish, it is a very food versatile style crafted to be enjoyed within a couple of years of vintage."

(Winemaker's Notes)

“LaRocca Vineyards has officially introduced the first ever USDA certified organic Sparkling Wine with No Sulfites Detected. Made from a 100% estate grown Chardonnay grapes, it is a Brut Blanc de Blancs. Made here at LaRocca Vineyards we processed the Sparkle at a very traditional French Sparkling Wine House in Lower Lake, CA. It is Method Champenoise, which means that each bottle is sparkled on its own and it is not made in a tank. It is Hand Riddled to assure the highest of care for each bottle. LaRocca Vineyards Organic Sparkling Wine is made in the very traditional French style, however, made domestically, hence, honoring the French Region and calling it a CA Sparkling Wine.”

Blend of Zinfandel, Carignane, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon.

• Winemaker’s Notes: “A fragrant, nearly dry blend that is full bodied, crisp, and well balanced. Very refreshing - in part because it is unoaked. In flavor, it is somewhat delicate and tastes of peach, apple, lime, and honeysuckle. Best to drink during 2008.”
