Sparkling Pénélope Reserve Sonoma Brut 2018
About the wine
Decadent Reserve-edition Sonoma sparkling - Angels save $20!
- Fresh, bright fruit flavors of apple, pear and tangy citrus burst from this top-shelf sparkling with a crisp, refreshing texture and just the right amount of refined bubbles!
- Angel funding helped Penelope craft this Reserve sparkling Brut using the classic trio of grapes found in high-end Champagne – Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier – harvested from her choice of top-tier Sonoma vineyards.
- Your support also helped Penelope use the traditional method in making this sparkling, letting its second fermentation happen in the bottle for the most refined bubbles possible and a signature, easy-sipping elegance.
Best before
I really advocate for consumption now to get all of the bright fruit the wine profile was meant to show, though it will also age well for a few years to come.
Serving advice
Open carefully - this is sparkling wine. Keep the cork pointed away from you and your friends and family. I also like to take the wine out of the fridge for 15-30 minutes to let it warm slightly.
Food match
Soft and hard cheeses go perfectly with this Reserve sparkling. So do oysters, mussels, fish and chicken.

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Penelope Gadd-Coster
If it's famous and fizzy, chances are Penelope's the talent behind it. Having worked with iconic California sparkling houses like Schramsberg, Mumm and J Vineyards & Winery, she’s made hundreds of premier bubbles over the years.
Discretion is key. When you work with prestigious sparkling houses like she does, you keep the name dropping to a minimum. But it's fair to say her talent has influenced the famous sparkling you know and love.
With 30+ years of winemaking under her belt, Penelope is a sparkling wine expert. Now thanks to you and her friends at Breathless (a female-led Healdsburg winery), she’s making her own sparkling for the very first time!
