Sparkling Muscat
Tasting notes
The Muscat canelli grape is noted for its distinctive floral aroma with a delicate, citrus undertone. Aromas of spiced pear, honeysuckle, and jasmine jump out of the glass. Fruity notes of fresh apricot and mandarine orange give way to a crisp, clean finish. Unlike the sweeter Italian Moscatos, this sparkling Muscat finishes dry.
Rava sparkling wines are crafted using time-honored méthode champenoise techniques. The cuvée, or base wine for this sparkler was fermented cold in stainless to retain freshness of aromas and acidity. The cuvée, along with a mixture of sugar, yeast and nutrients, was bottled after an extended aging en tirage. A small amount of dosage or sugar mix is added to perfectly balance the natural acidity.
The Sparkling Muscat is an exceptionally versatile wine that can pair with many bold, flavorful dishes. Enjoy it with fresh sushi, BBQ ribs, blue cheese and walnuts, or spiced Pad Thai.

Black Jack Vineyards is owned and farmed by the Rava family, a third-generation farming family. Ideally situated on a gently sloping hillside of the Santa Lucia range in Monterey County, the vineyard enjoys foggy mornings and warm days followed by late afternoon coastal breezes and chilly nights. These cool temperatures allow grapes to ripen slowly over a prolonged growing season, resulting in expressive, aromatic fruit.
