This cuvée literally sparkles on your tongue. The bubbles are very tiny and rise in beautiful streaming columns to form a perfect crown. The family’s mission in crafting the dosage was to steer the wine stylistically to emphasize its bright, racy character with an all-Chardonnay dosage to give in maximum “pop.” Whether you are an astronomer, a space buff, or just love wine with incredible bubbles and flavor, Stargazing Cuvée is the perfect toast to the Milky Way and beyond.
