Carboniste Sparkling Albarino Rio Vista California 2022

Now this is fun. Local husband and wife team, Dan and Jacqueline Person, love Albariño so much that they wanted to make California’s first sparkling version. It spends just 4 months on the lees, giving the wine some structure and toasty texture, but this is all about the wine’s freshness: apples, pears, peaches, honeysuckle, jasmine, and a touch of cinnamon. 5g/L dosage – so dry. As the label indicates, drink with octopus.
