2008 Sofia Blanc De Blancs
$19.00 -- Our Prosecco-Style Sparkling WinePurchase 2008 Sofia Blanc De Blancs
Sofia Blanc de Blancs, a unique blend of Pinot Blanc, Riesling and Muscat, is a delicate sparkling wine perfect for any celebration. It offers seductive flavors, fresh aromatics and light effervescence—all packaged with striking, feminine flair.
The fruit for our Sofia Blanc de Blancs is grown in the cool vineyards of the Arroyo Seco in northern Monterey County. Known for its Burgundian-like climate, Monterey offers ideal conditions for Pinot Blanc, which include a long growing season and soils that accentuate the profound floral characteristics inherent in this varietal.
WINEMAKER’S NOTES
We pick our grapes at lower sugar levels to ensure that our wine has a lower alcohol content. The fruit is whole-cluster pressed into stainless steel tanks for primary fermentation, and then blended before undergoing secondary fermentation using the Charmat method. Adding small amounts Riesling into the blend adds a succulent, juicy flavor of pineapple, while the inclusion of Muscat confers a gorgeous perfume of honeysuckle and apricots.
TASTING NOTES
The 2008 Sofia Blanc de Blancs delivers a provocative scent of pineapple, peach, and lemon as well as a delicate perfume of honeysuckle. Like Italy’s best Proseccos, our wine is crisp and lively on the palate with charming floral notes and a hint of fig.
