Winemaker Notes
The golden flakes in each bottle of XXIV Karat are verified 24 karats of real gold. Certified for use as a food decoration, the edible gold is considered biologically inert, making XXIV Karat a safe option for flashy fun and memorable moments, solidifying its place as the indulgent lifestyle beverage.
A switch at the bottom of the bottle, when depressed, will turn on a flashing light, further illuminating the wine and gold flakes.
California enjoys a long history and proven reputation as an admirable source of sparkling wines. Agoston Haraszthy, who established Buena Vista Winery in the mid 1850s, first attempted to make traditional method sparkling wine in California in the 1870s. Shortly thereafter Korbel followed, and with great success. Today domestic producers such as Schramsberg, Iron Horse and J. Wine Co remain at the forefront of the market.
Since the 1970s the state has consistently attracted the attention and investment of large and respected European and French-based firms who are responsible for Domaine Chandon, Mumm-Napa Valley, Roederer Estate and Domaine Carneros (Taittinger), to name a few. Anderson Valley and Carneros remain standout regions for top quality Pinot noir and Chardonnay for these.
