2022 a snackable sparkling red

We did it! We made a sparkling red! If you are a lambrusco lover, you have come to the right place. This effervescent sparkling blend of Aligoté, Merlot and a splash of Pinot Gris (!!) is exactly the kind of beverage you'll want when the heavy holiday meals hit, and a splash of bubbles feel like the only right thing for the job. Dark and shmoody in color but bright and fruity on the palate, you'll find notes of blackberry, citrus and cement (in a good way!) in our first ever snackable sparkling red blend.

What's it taste like?!?

Blackberries, Sidewalks after a Good Rain, Green Peppercorn, Haybails
