Korbel Sweet Cuvée California Champagne

Korbel introduces Sweet Cuvée California Champagne. Bottle fermentation results in persistent bubbles and a polished texture, and the blending of four grapes achieves the Cuvée’s style. Chenin Blanc adds the fruit taste while Chardonnay gives it body and structure. The Sweet Cuvée has peach, nectarine and tropical fruit aromas that are accented by subtle yeast notes and pineapple and tropical fruit flavors, giving the taste a bright acidity. www.korbel.com.
