Sparkling Peach

DESCRIPTION

Peaches are the hallmark fruit of Summer, with flavors unmistakably juicy and sweet, nothing else is like it; peaches are sunshine incarnate! This sparkling wine with natural flavors is a special summer release, and it reflects the delicate fruit and pastry notes of a fresh peach cobbler. Tart, yet tantalizingly sweet, the zesty effervescence is inviting and invigorating.

WINEMAKING NOTES

Sparkling Peach has a base cuvée made from Chenin Blanc, matched perfectly with natural peach flavors and a touch of Pinot Noir to balance the color. Carter Creek sparkling wines are made in the process called the Charmat, or "Tank Method." In this process, our base wine is reinoculated for a secondary fermentation which occurs in a stainless steel tank. In this process, carbon dioxide is created as a biproduct of the yeast consuming sugar, which creates the sparkle. It is whole cluster pressed and stainless steel fermented for primary and secondary fermentation. It is finished at 3.14g/100mL residual sugar.
