WINE DESCRIPTION
Iron Horse Ocean Reserve Blanc de Blancs is a premium sparkling wine produced by Iron Horse Vineyards, a renowned winery located in the Green Valley AVA of Sonoma County, California. This wine is made exclusively from Chardonnay grapes grown in the estate's vineyards, which are characterized by their cool climate, oceanic influence, and well-draining soils. The winemaking process involves traditional methods, including hand harvesting, gentle pressing, and aging on the lees for several years, resulting in a wine with a delicate mousse, complex aromas of citrus and brioche, and a crisp, refreshing acidity. This wine is a perfect choice for special occasions or as an aperitif.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Iron Horse Ocean Reserve (Blanc de Blancs) offers aromas of citrus and white flowers that are balanced by a hint of minerality and a creamy texture.On the palate, there is a bright acidity that carries flavors of green apple, lemon zest and fresh herbs. The finish is long, crisp and clean. Enjoy this delightful sparkling wine with salmon and light salads.
