Paso Doble, Brut Red Sparkling Pinot Noir

The wine name: Paso Doble
Paso Doble means “Double Step” and is one of the best known Spanish style dances. We use the name because this sparkling wine has grapes that come from Paso and to get the bubbles a second (double) fermentation was done in the bottle.

Production Notes:
All phases of Paso Doble production were done at the winery. The initial cuvee was fermented and stabilized in stainless steel. In-bottle fermentation (tirage) took 3 months in sparkling cages after which every single bottle was hand riddled and disgorged. A final addition (dosage) of our proprietary liqueur was done to give it the Brut level of dryness.

Pairings:
A delicious wine to serve with oysters, caviar, light cheeses, foie gras and spicy dishes.
