2020 Carboniste Sparkling Albariño

Tasting Notes:
Bright and effervescent, this sparkling Albariño dazzles with crisp notes of green apple, lemon zest, and white peach, layered with delicate floral aromas and a hint of sea spray. The fine, persistent bubbles create a creamy texture that elevates its refreshing minerality.

Pairings:
Perfect as a celebratory aperitif or paired with fresh oysters, ceviche, light seafood dishes, or goat cheese tartlets. Also shines alongside sushi or summer salads.

Production Details:
Produced from boutique Albariño grapes, whole-cluster pressed and fermented with native yeasts. The wine undergoes traditional méthode champenoise, spending 12 months on lees to develop complexity and creamy mousse before disgorgement.

Story of the Vintage:
The 2020 vintage offered cooler coastal influences that preserved bright acidity and vibrant aromatics, reflecting the unique character of the historic Andrus Island vineyard where the grapes are sourced. This sparkling wine is a sparkling tribute to California’s coastal terroir and artisanal winemaking.
