Extra! Extra! Red All About It!
When we first heard that this St. Julian Blanc de Noir Sparkling Wine was made from red grapes we didn't know what to think. After all, it looks like white wine and it IS white wine! But made from red grapes? We were suspicious, to say the least.
We became even more suspicious when we tasted the flavors of strawberries and red delicious apples ... two RED fruits. "HOW," we asked, "IS THIS WINE NOT RED!?"
And then when we smelled the raspberry aromas, we were seriously concerned. How could it smell like raspberry, taste like strawberries and red delicious apples, AND be made of red vinifera grapes, and STILL be a white wine?
It's a mystery that still perplexes us, but it IS delicious, so whatever.
Features
Small, tiny bubbles stream through this pink wine to the top of the glass, exploding a mouthful of flavor onto the palate. Honeysuckle and raspberry aromas lead to flavors bursting with strawberries and red delicious apples. The tart acidity lingers to a supple, satisfying finish. This sparkling wine is absolutely delicious!
Meaning “white wine from red grapes”, this wine is made from selected lots of 100% Michigan grown red vinifera including: Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Pinot Noir and Syrah. The cuvee is assembled with a drop of Traminette for stylistic consistency. Expect the Braganini Reserve Blanc de Noir to be clean and crisp, emphasizing on berry fruit.
