About the wine
California fruit meets French elegance in this dazzling Brut sparkling
- Bright fruit flavors like pear and apple glide on a wave of ultra-fine bubbles in each sip of Penelope’s elegant, refreshing California sparkling.
- With your funding, Penelope selected high-end California Chardonnay and Pinot Noir and created this Brut in the traditional style, meaning it received a second fermentation in the bottle for extra-fine bubbles and added elegance.
- Over her 30-year career, Penelope’s made bubblies for some of the biggest names in California sparkling wine. Now Angel funding lets her channel that expertise into her very own line of sparkling wines – exclusively for you!
Best before
This wine will age well, but is ideally meant to be consumed now for the brightest fruit flavors possible.
Serving advice
Open this sparkling wine carefully - there is pressure in the bottle! After refrigeration, open the bottle and let it sit to warm up slightly and get the best fruit flavors this wine brings forth. Cheers!
Food match
I love this wine for everyday with everything! But if I had to pick one pairing, I'd go with shellfish, especially Dungeness crabs. Yummm!

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!
