Bubbles Sparkling Malbec
The only Sparkling Malbec made in California using the traditional Méthode Champenoise process with fruit from our Iconic Malbec vineyard.
Pure on the palate with a juicy texture and a wealth of happy bubbles under which the floral fruit emerges. This wine has great substance and a lovely presence. Try it alone over a period of 15 minutes in a champagne flute (don't swirl) and watch it evolve right there in your glass.
Eater Magazine Review
One California producer was inspired by Australia's most serious sparkling shiraz, but via a different grape.
Turning to another French variety that has found a new identity in the New World, Sonoma’s Williamson Wines produced one vintage of sparkling malbec — France’s côt grape, which shows up in places like Bordeaux for blends and the Loire Valley for both varietal and blended wines — in an ode to Australian sparkling.
Made the Champagne way, too, and kept completely dry, for a mix of still Malbec taste invigorated by a sparkling texture.
A five-year-long production process, and the unlikelihood of being made again, this is a celebration sparkling red, a suitable replacement for that champagne.
Concentrated plum and blackberry flavors, with toffee and leather notes: this aged, sparkling Malbec is a dry, bubbly deep red wine.
We chose to start with Malbec, picked at full ripeness and made into a fine quality still wine resting two years in French Oak. Then with this full-flavored Cuvée we commenced the next three years of the traditional Méthode Champenoise process.
