Sparkling In Bloom
Tasting notes
A well-made blend has synergy and life, where the blend is more complete than each individual part. The Muscat adds delicate, white flower floral notes. The Chardonnay adds a peachy richness in the mid palate. The Albarino is the back bone of the wine with it's natural acidity and orange blossom aromas. The Grenache Rose is added for a slight blush color and to lengthen the finish.
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. The cuvée, along with a mixture of sugar, yeast and nutrients, was bottled after an extended aging en tirage. Extended aging gives the blend time to marry together and add volume or softness to the mid-palate.
The Sparkling In Bloom Blend is an exceptionally versatile wine that can pair with many bold, flavorful dishes. Enjoy it with fresh sushi, an afternoon picnic, baked brie with granny smith apples, or spiced Pad Thai.

This blend is sourced from Rava Family Vineyards, a third-generation farming family. Grapes were picked from Paso Robles and Monterey County, giving the best of both worlds. Monterey County has cool temperatures that allow grapes to ripen slowly over a prolonged growing season. Paso Robles features warm daytime temperatures, followed by cool marine breezes late in the day, concentrating the fruit flavors. When combined, the wine is flavorful with a natural acidity freshness.
