2018 Verméil Demi-Sec

Verméil (vehr-MAY) is a Demi-Sec, or lightly sweet sparkling wine. Modern tastes have driven most fine sparkling wines to the dry side; however, an extra touch of dosage makes for a delightful experience.

Tasting Notes

Staying true to form in honoring the 2018 vintage, our Verméil opens with aromas of honey dew melon, honeysuckle, cherry blossom, and apples that beckon on a delicate mousse of bubbles. Luscious flavors evoke notes of honey, baked pear, lychee, and ginger filling the wine's long finish and approachable mid-palate.

This delicious wine may be appreciated with brunch, before dinner, or with entrees enhanced with fruit sauces or sweet reductions. Founding winemaker Eileen Crane loves pairing this wine with a rich poundcake.
