Longevity Blanc De Blanc Methode Champenoise Sparkling Wine


State & Region: Livermore Valley, California

Grapes: 100% Chardonnay

ABV: 13.5%


Winemaker’s Notes: The Longevity philosophy declares it is not just about the wines, but the experience. The food you had with it, the friends you shared the wine with and the location the experience took place. Everyone who visits the tasting room is treated like family, and always brings back friends for the experience. Wine Maker Phil Long enjoys the challenge of bigger wines, but approaches each varietal with the same dedication.


Tasting notes: The grapes were harvested at optimal ripeness for sparkling wine, with low sugar and high acid. They were then softly pressed to avoid extracting tannins from the skins. After considerable time "en tirage", the resulting sparkling wine is smooth and creamy with a perfectly balanced mouth-feel. Light cream in color, this sparkling wine blossoms in your mouth with lively acidity. The nose detects yeasty bread. Its many tiny bubbles refresh with green apple and crisp citrus notes.


Pairings: Ceviche, Aged Gouda, or Pad Thai, Smoked Salmon, Beer-battered Cod and Onion Rings.


Our Price: $22.00
