Sparkling Wine Trio

Our trio includes one each of our traditional-method sparkling wines, an important part of the history of St. Innocent WInery. Fun trivia - the winery was originally founded with the intention of producing only traditional-method sparkling wines! 

2018 Blanc de Blancs
100% Chardonnay, aged sur lie for 54 months
92 points, Wine Enthusiast - This is a soft, gentle sparkling wine with an aromatic set that nicely balances pear and chamomile aromas with earthy notes of fennel-flecked finocchiona salami. The wine's yellow apple and catmint flavors are joined by a wee bit of tart guava. The bubbles are courteous, only barely tickling the nose.

2019 Crémant Rosé
90% Pinot blanc, 10% fully-fermented Pinot noir
93 points, Hidden Gem, Wine Enthusiast - A 90-10 blend of Freedom Hill Vineyard Pinot Blanc and Pinot Noir, this gentle sparkler has a Wimbledon nose of strawberries and cream. Additional aromas include fig, chalkboard dust and a mildly bitter herbal note. Strawberries return on the creamy palate, joined by lime zest and a touch of rhubarb pie.

2020 Crémant d'Innocènt
100% Pinot blanc
91 points, Wine Enthusiast - There's nothing innocent about this wine. It knows exactly what it's doing when it lights your palate up like a pinball machine with invigorating acidity and frisky bubbles. An aroma of honeydew drizzled in lime juice is joined by wisps of vanilla and chalkboard dust. Brisk flavors of tangerine, pink grapefruit and juniper berries seal the deal.
