SPRING GATE'S DE CHAUNAC FRIZZANTEThis is Pennsylvania's first sparkling off-dry, brut style red wine, using a French hybrid that grows incredibly well throughout Pennsylvania and New York. This sparkling red wine is full of fruitiness and makes your palate tingling for more. It's an exceptional food-pairing wine that goes well with cheese, wild game and other great food experiences.
DETAILS AND TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS 2016 Cases: 125 Alcohol by Volume: 12% Residual Sugar: ?% Grapes: 90% De Chaunac, 5% La Crescent, 5% Moscato Sparkling Capped Estate Grown: No Local Farm: Yes, New York VINIFICATION AND BLENDING The De Chaunac grapes are hot pressed to maximize fruit expression and fermented in stainless steel. The normal Spring Gate, racking, cold stabilization, and filtering is applied. Malolactic fermentation (MLF) is completed in this red wine to soften the wine’s mouthfeel. During blending, the smallest amount of white wine is added to enhance the fruity aromas. Then, carbonization is performed prior to bottling. COCKTAILING Add 3/4 of an ounce of creme de cassis per glass to really pop the red fruit aroma. While Marty makes his own for personal consumption, you should be able to find US and French versions inexpensively at your local wine shop. |
