Alma4 Blanc de Blanc 2012

This unique sparkling wine is 100% Chardonnay made in Methode Tradicional from two separate vineyards high up in the Uco Valley. The wine has spent 10 years on the lees and shows toasty notes of hazelnuts, brioche, and creme brûlée on the nose with hints of lemon and creamy peach. This vintage wine has less fizz or bubbles than a typical newer sparkling but still has great crisp acid that leads to an almond cream finish. Extremely limited as only 56cs came to the USA!!
