Winemaker Notes

#73 Wine Spectator Top 100 of 2016

Korbel brut – made with organically grown grapes is created in the classic Korbel style, crisp, delicate, and bright. They always strive to present the pure flavors of the grape in all of their California Champagnes. The organically grown grapes in this cuvée deliver well-integrated aromas and flavors of apple, pear, and white peaches. The finish is medium-dry, with a slight savory note at the end.

This California Champagne has fresh pear and subtle citrus notes and works beautifully with seafood that exemplifies “delicate richness,” such as scallops, poached shrimp, or even fried oysters. It’s a great brunch wine, as it’s delicious with egg dishes and creamier flavors. It would also pair nicely with any chicken dishes involving a light gravy or creamy sauce.

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.
