Crafted by Perry Creek Winery, nestled at an altitude of 2401 feet, this Blanc de Noirs is a testament to the winery's commitment to producing exceptional wines that capture the essence of their unique terroir.
This Blanc de Noirs is primarily made from Pinot Noir and/or Pinot Meunier grapes, known for their elegant complexity and versatility. The grapes are carefully selected and gently pressed to extract the purest juice, resulting in a wine that is both delicate and full of character. The term "Blanc de Noirs" translates to "white from blacks," indicating that the wine is made from black grapes but vinified to produce a white wine.
The Perry Creek Winery Blanc de Noirs pours a pale straw color with fine, persistent bubbles that dance in the glass. On the nose, it offers a symphony of aromas, starting with bright fruit notes of red apple and pear, intertwined with subtle floral hints of honeysuckle and white blossom. As the wine opens up, delicate nuances of brioche and toasted almonds emerge, adding depth and complexity to the aromatic profile.
On the palate, the wine is dry and crisp, with a refreshing acidity that awakens the senses. The flavors mirror the aromas, with vibrant fruit notes dominating the palate, followed by a subtle creamy texture that adds richness and length. The finish is clean and lingering, leaving a delightful impression that invites you to take another sip.
This sparkling wine is incredibly versatile and pairs well with a wide range of dishes. Its bright acidity and delicate fruit flavors make it an excellent match for seafood, such as oysters, scallops, or grilled shrimp. It also complements lighter fare like salads, sushi, or appetizers. For a more indulgent pairing, try it with creamy cheeses or smoked salmon. And, of course, it is the perfect wine to celebrate any occasion, whether it's a special milestone or a simple gathering with friends.
Sourced from the heart of California, this sparkling wine is a beautiful representation of what this region has to offer.
