Penelope Breathless California Brut NV
About the wine
Your new everyday bubbly - lively, fresh... and yours for a song
Fruity and bright – with the elegance of Champagne – this Brut bursts with flavors like wild berries, crisp apples and juicy white grapes.
Made from a classic sparkling recipe of Chardonnay and earthy Pinot Noir, sparkling champion Penny added the teensiest amount of sweetness so the flavors stay fresh and the finish really POPS.
Google Penelope Gadd Coster and you'll quickly realize what an industry legend she is. Her sparkling is TOP-DOLLAR! This bubbly is no different... except for your exclusive $14.99 price!
Best before
This wine was not made to age, however 2-3 years will bring the yeast component to a nice brioche stage if stored properly.
Serving advice
I like to pull my sparkling from the fridge 30 minutes before opening. Many times, chilling it too much mutes some of the beautiful fruit.
Food match
Sparkling is so versatile that it is hard to find foods that will not work - ultimately fish and seafood are my favorites to recommend. But if fish allergies plague you, I have had this wine with veggie lasagne or grilled steak!
Contains sulphites
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!
