WOODBRIDGE BY ROBERT MONDAVI BRUT SPARKLING WINE

WOODBRIDGE BY ROBERT MONDAVI BRUT SPARKLING WINE
This new release marks the first time in brand history that a sparkling wine has been added to the Woodbridge portfolio.  It is made using the Charmat method to create a Blanc de Blanc sparkling wine with Chardonnay grapes.  After going through a primary and secondary fermentation process, that includes the introduction of a specially selected yeast from the Champagne region, the sparkling wine is then aged sur lie for 1 to 2 months to give it its distinct flavor profile.  Prior to bottling, a final dosage of sugar is added to balance the wine within the Brut level of sweetness.  The wine displays green apple, ripe pear, and bright citrus notes with a toasty finish.  Suggested retail price is $9.99 per 75Oml.  Available from Carolina Wine & Spirits and Horizon Beverage Company.
