Chenin Blanc + Viognier
Crisp, bright, and vivacious, this is an aromatic wine boasting a bouquet of pear, green apple, and honeydew melon complemented by lime, nectarine, lemongrass, and apricot. This Pine Ridge Vineyards Sparkling Wine is bright and fresh, exhibiting flavors of green apples, lemon, lime, and lychee. The wine has beautifully balanced, crisp acidity, with a refreshing and slightly creamy note on the mid-palate. The fine bubbles lift the aromas and flavors and carry them to the finish.

Pine Ridge Vineyards Sparkling Wine pairs well with a number of dishes, from appetizers to light salads to seafood, and most notably with foods that have a hint of spiciness—its subtle sweetness provides balance alongside a touch of heat. It’s the perfect pour for the start of an evening with appetizers such as goat cheese, stuffed mushrooms, toasted almonds, and even potato chips. Also try this wine with a flavorful Thai curry, fried chicken, quiche, or ham and brie sandwiches.

Winemaker’s Notes
Grapes for Chenin Blanc are sourced from the Clarksburg appellation, one that shows a great affinity for Chenin Blanc. The climate has a moderately long growing season and benefits from the maritime influence of the Sacramento River. The Viognier is sourced from Lodi, which has a classic Mediterranean climate, with warm days and cool nights. The sparkling wine was made using 96 percent Chenin Blanc for the base wine.
