Family vineyard with mature vines? Check. Perfect balance of enterprising spirit and traditional reverence? Check. A winery devoted to its region (Pyrenees) and always seeking to farm and make wine in a way that speaks to place? Check. Just amazingly delicious wine?? Check check check. Everything from a can’t put- it-down sparkling shiraz to skinsy sauvignon blanc to juicy yet complex cabernet franc. We can’t get enough of Pyren."

Tasting notes: A sparkling of complexity and drinkability. With three hours of skin maceration, this wine has a bright salmon color. The nose is of pickled watermelon, orange oil, lemon myrtle, and acacia blossoms. On the palate, the effervescence is
energetic but soft, with refreshing acidity and juicy fruit weight.
