Wedding Cuvee 2019 This is Iron Horse’s most romantic bubbly. We describe the 2019 vintage as dangerously easy to drink. Fruit forward and elegantly dry, this irresistible bubbly displays ultra-tiny bubbles and an exceedingly long finish.

“Succulent and seductive, with festive raspberry and lemon crème brulée flavors accented by fresh gingerbread and spy stones, which glide on the creamy finish.” – Tim Fish

TASTING NOTES
Pale Salmon in color with lively bubbles and Mousse. The 2019 Wedding Cuvée has a great raspberry aromas, followed by strawberry and a touch of lemon zest. Great red fruit flavors on the front palate that extend to the mid palate, followed by a burst of red apple and creaminess leading to a grapefruit finish with amazing texture throughout.

WINEMAKER NOTES
Wedding Cuvée is our interpretation of a Blanc de Noirs. In blending this wine we chose Pinot Noir lots that were extremely expressive and fruit forward. Then in a decided step away from convention, we blend in a bit of steely Chardonnay to add a firm acid backbone. Hand harvested in the chill of early morning our Pinot Noir is gently pressed as whole clusters. The juice slowly ferments in stainless steel tanks at 62° to 65°f retaining bright fruit aromas and flavors in the wine. The dosage for the 2019 Wedding Cuvée is 8 mls Blanc de Noir Lex, 12 mls 2019 Rued Clone Chardonnay.
