2017 Sparkling Blanc De Blancs
SEASHELLS | HONEYDEW MELON | DELIGHTFUL
Such lovely aromas are present on the nose—fresh apricot, crushed seashells, sliced honeydew melon, and lemon zest. The palate is awash with knife-edged acidity and balanced with the creamy texture of a silky lemon curd. This wine shows the dual purpose of a great blanc de blancs—wonderful with a meal, delightful on its own.

THE VINEYARD
This is a wine that speaks of place. It is pulled from three of Adelsheim’s vineyards in the Chehalem Mountains, all planted on deep volcanic soil.
Bryan Creek Vineyard
The grapes for this Blanc de blancs come entirely from Adelsheim’s LIVE certified estate Bryan Creek vineyard nestled high in the Chehalem Mountains AVA. This is an exceptional site for sparkling wine, as it consistently produces lovely, mineral-driven wines with appealing stone fruit nuances.
