2018 Reminiscence Sparkling Blanc De Noirs

Lone Star Wine 2018 Reminiscence is a beautiful example of a Blanc de Noirs sparkling wine. The pale copper appearance comes from the brief time the juice spent with the pinot noir grape skins before being transferred to stainless steel tanks to finish maturing for eight months. The refreshing effervescence coupled with refreshing floral and fruity notes makes this sparkling wine a joy to sip on!
