Joe Wagner, an avid champagne enthusiast, harbored a desire to craft a timeless sparkling wine using Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes. Enter Steorra, his inaugural sparkling wine, named after the Old English word for 'star.' This non-vintage Brut style sparkling wine is sourced from Sonoma County's cool-climate Russian River Valley, renowned for these grape varieties. Steorra exudes an elegant, soft demeanor, characterized by a fine effervescence and universally pleasing flavors of zesty lemon sherbet, velvety creaminess, delicate toasty notes, and a refreshing finish.
