Carboniste 2020 Carbo-Nation Sparkling Wine

This is a 50 / 50 blend of Albarino and Pinot Grigio, and combines the winemaking styles of a PetNat with a traditional sparkling wine. The nose shows an up front hit of yellow stone fruits with kumquat and fresh fall apple cider. The palate is light with good acid and a flavor set of stone fruits, lemon and apple with just there baking spice. Fun and accessible California Sparkling. D&M Tasting Notes

An exciting new concept! The wine is a hybrid between a traditional sparkling wine and a Pét-Nat. The combined winemaking style has created a complexity of texture and creamy flavor that continues to develop with age. As a blend of Albarino and Pinot grigio, the wines were barrel-aged separately for 12 months. The Albarino offers high juicy acidity while the Pinot grigio is a softer wine that develops layers and texture as it ages. Together the two wines are a textural study of how far modern sparkling wine can go. Winery Notes
