Central Coast Sparkling Wine Program Launched by Rack & Riddle
Wineries can now offer bubbles from California’s mid-state AVA
Manveer Sandhu Rack & Riddle, the #1 custom sparkling wine producer in the United States, has expanded their portfolio of wine offerings to include two new sparkling wines from California’s Central Coast region.
Rack & Riddle’s new Central Coast Sparkling Wine Program includes a Méthode Champenoise Brut and a Rosé. Vineyard sourcing is from the Central Coast American Viticultural Area. This region includes Monterey Bay and Santa Lucia Highlands sub-AVA’s, places long prized for growing cool climate Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, ideal for crafting premium sparkling wines.
“The Central Coast, with its maritime influence, is a region optimal for growing Chardonnay and Pinot Noir,” said Rack & Riddle Executive Director of Winemaking Manveer Sandhu, “Elegant grapes with bright acidity are grown in this AVA, ideal for making premium sparkling wines from this distinct and important appellation.”
“Numerous requests from winery clients sparked the creation of the new Central Coast Brut and Rosé. We collaborated with a valued grape grower to carefully select the ideal vineyard blocks to produce these beautiful wines that showcase the quality and elegance for which Rack & Riddle has become known,” Sandhu added.
Winemaker Manveer Sandhu’s Tasting Notes
Central Coast Brut
The Central Coast Brut features aromas of Meyer lemon and Asian pear, complemented by subtle hints of cherry in the background. On the palate, this wine boasts a fine mousse, revealing notes of honeydew melon, lemon, and brioche from the yeast aging.
Central Coast Rosé
This elegant Central Coast Rosé blend features notes of Rainier cherry, ripe strawberry, and rose water. These delicate flavors persist on the palate, offering a rich blend of cherry jam, finishing with a lingering hint of lime.
For more information about the Rack & Riddle Custom Sparkling Wine programs that range in size from 132 cases up to 2,300 cases of Brut or 1,300 cases of Rosé from the Central Coast AVA, ideal for wineries of any size, call (707) 433-8400 or send an email to businessdevelopment@
