Charmat
D. H. Lescombes Imperial Kir NV (New Mexico)
This sparkling wine is absolutely delicious and fun! The sparkle comes from the tank or Charmat method (injected CO2) and is not made in the traditional methode champenoise. The wine is made with Chenin Blanc French Colombard and a touch of raspberry. The nose is complex and offers aromas of berry fruits. The mousse is comfortably enticing, but obviously not as soft as a fine French Champagne. The palate is semi sweet and well balanced in delivering and very long finish. Delicious flavors of tropical fruits and berries accentuate the typical flavor of a fine sparkling wine.

D. H. Lescombes Royal Kir NV (New Mexico)
This wine follows the French tradition of the Royal Kir (Champagne and a touch of crème de cassis). This sparkling wine is produced by tank or Charmat method (injected CO2) and is not made in the traditional methode champenoise. Chenin Blanc, French Colombard and a touch of cassis are used to produce this festive sparkler. The nose offers a bouquet of subtle cassis. The mousse is enticing. The palate is semi sweet, well balanced and delivers a long finish. The typical flavor of a fine sparkling wine (bready, citrus) with a provocative hint of cassis will surely please the drinker.
