Winemaker Notes
Modern and immediate. This evolution of bubbles. POPUP says YES to purity. YES to integrity. YES to flavor. Single vineyard, noble varietal, POPUP smells of honeysuckle, orange blossom, lilac with peach, lemon curd and pie crust. Smooth, long and delicious. POPUP for the moment and the moment is now!
Blend: 100% Chardonnay

All from the Evergreen Vineyard and with around 8 grams of dosage, the 2018 POPUP is clean and vibrant, with juicy peach and green all notes balanced by bright acidity. It's clean, classy, and has a fine mousse and a great finish. Made by the team at K Vintners, drink this undeniably delicious sparkling wine any time over the coming year or so.

A fun, easy chardonnay with a fresh, creamy and lightly frothy texture and a delicious, dry finish. Refreshing and fun with attractive fruit. Crown cap.
Representing the topmost expression of a Champagne house, a vintage Champagne is one made from the produce of a single, superior harvest year. Vintage Champagnes account for a mere 5% of total Champagne production and are produced about three times in a decade. Champagne is typically made as a blend of multiple years in order to preserve the house style; these will have non-vintage, or simply, NV on the label. The term, "vintage," as it applies to all wine, simply means a single harvest year.
