Lieb Cellars Sparkling Pinot Blanc Estate 2013

Our Methode Champenoise sparkling wine is made from 100% Pinot Blanc grapes and, on average, ages three years before being disgorged in small lots to guarantee a crisp, fresh wine. This brut sparkler boasts a nose redolent of green apple and pear, accented by hints of citrus, honey, and yeast. The palate comes alive with delicate, refreshing, tiny bubbles.

Pinot Blanc is typically a full-bodied wine and expresses pleasing aromas of crisp pear, peach, lemon zest, crushed gravel and white flowers. The finest examples can possess a stony minerality and with age can develop intriguing notes of honey, vanilla and almond.

Delicate Pinot Blanc works well with lighter fare such as salads, seafood, chicken or turkey, but is truly at its best with Alsatian pairings like choucrout garnie, onion tarts or the region’s soft cheeses like Munster.
