The Sparkling Duo includes one bottle each of the following wines:
Domaine Francis Orban Rosé Champagne Aromas of orchard fruit, light herbs, brioche, pepper. Fruity and juicy, with ripe citrus and apple flavors. Vibrant and very long. Hand-harvested. Pressed directly; fermented on indigenous yeasts in temperature-controlled, stainless steel tanks. Malolactic conversion allowed. A blend of 50% vintage wine from 2015 and 50% reserve wine from 2014, 2013 and 2012. Aged for three years in bottle. Dosage 3 g/L. Estate vineyards total 18 acres, facing south, in and around the villages of Leuvrigny and Sainte-Gemme. Soils are rich in sand and clay, a mix that suits Pinot Meunier vines well and explains why the Marne is the centerpoint of Meunier production. 100% Pinot Meunier
2021 Albamar Ancestral (Espumoso) Rias Baixas Albariño Gentle fizz, delicately sparkling. Crisp. A combination of a few parcels of Albariño, all grown on well draining, sandy soils that produce highly aromatic wines. Notes of lemon with a dust of sea salt, flint, green apple and yellow kiwi. Pair it with roasted artichokes and sheep cheese. 100% Albariño • Granite & slate soils • Aged on lees for 8 months before disgorgement • Bottled with minimal sulfur. From a tiny production, costal vineyards, meticulous artisanal hands-on winemaking. This is the true, small, working-class, unpretentious and glorious winemaking endeavor that produces superb, precise, crisp whites that blow your mind away.
