About the wine
Elegant vintage sparkling from a California bubbly legend
- Wayne’s special vintage sparkling buzzes with bright fruit and hums with the perfect balance between mouthwatering zippiness and a soft, creamy smoothness.
- With your funding, Wayne selected crisp, first-class Chardonnay and a bit of Pinot Noir from cool climate vineyards around northern California, where he’s spent decades making bubblies for some of the world’s top sparkling wine houses.
- Once he had his high-quality fruit, Wayne crafted this world-class cuvee using the traditional method (meaning a second fermentation in the bottle, the way the finest Champagnes are made) to bring you bubbly with a truly unique complexity and downright elegant character.
Best before
This delicate sparkling is ready to be enjoyed now, but may also be aged for up to a year.
Serving advice
Serve well chilled.
Food match
I love to pair this sparkling with a nice pâté.
Contains sulphites
Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Wayne Donaldson
- Wayne is the former head winemaker responsible for Domaine Chandon's bubbly. As in Moët & Chandon. He makes bubbles exclusively for you now.
- Wayne knows how to make the world's finest bubbly, but it's exceptionally expensive to go into sparkling winemaking on your own, so he's always had to work for big companies with prestigious brands...
- ...until Angels funded his exclusive range of California sparkling wine. Now it sells as fast as he can produce it and he's free to make wines the way they deserve to be made — instead of being bound to some big company's "brand image."
