KARMÈRE: Sparkling Wine Almond

Vineyard: Nestled in the heart of California's Shenandoah Valley, Karmère Vineyards bask in the warm sunshine and cool Pacific breezes, creating the perfect environment for nurturing vibrant grapes. The sun-drenched slopes, dotted with ancient oak trees, provide ideal drainage and a complex terroir that infuses the fruit with character and depth.

Winemaking: Karmère's Sparkling Wine Almond is crafted using the traditional Méthode Champenoise. Gently pressed grapes undergo a first fermentation in stainless steel tanks, capturing the essence of the fruit. The wine then undergoes a secondary fermentation in the bottle, where natural yeasts transform it into a bubbly masterpiece. This meticulous process ensures a vibrant effervescence and a nuanced flavor profile.

Tasting Notes: Delicate notes of toasted almond mingle with hints of ripe peaches, citrus zest, and a whisper of honey. On the palate, the wine is a delightful dance of textures – crisp acidity balances with a creamy mousse, while the almond essence seamlessly integrates, leaving a lingering and elegant finish.

Varietal: This sparkling wine is not a single-grape varietal, but rather a blend of carefully chosen grapes that come together to create a harmonious symphony of flavors. The exact blend remains a closely guarded secret, adding to the mystique of this delightful bubbly.

AVA: Karmère Vineyards lie within the federally recognized Lodi AVA (American Viticultural Area), renowned for its diverse grape varieties and unique microclimates. The Lodi AVA's warm days and cool nights allow the grapes to ripen slowly, resulting in wines with complex flavors and balanced acidity.

Production: Karmère's Sparkling Wine Almond is a limited-production gem, crafted with meticulous care and attention to detail. Each bottle captures the essence of the California terroir and the dedication of the winemakers, making it a truly special occasion wine.
