Description
Established in the 1970s, Mumm Napa has been dedicated to producing handcrafted sparkling wines that honor the traditions of its parent company, G.H. Mumm of Champagne. The Brut Prestige cuvée is a testament to this commitment, blending 45% Chardonnay, 45% Pinot Noir, and 10% Pinot Meunier grapes sourced from over fifty esteemed Napa Valley growers. The wine undergoes initial fermentation in stainless steel tanks, with a portion aged in French oak barrels. It then undergoes secondary fermentation in the bottle, spending 18 months on the lees to develop its complex flavors.The result is a sparkling wine with a pale gold hue and a persistent stream of bubbles. The nose is greeted with aromas of red apple, cherry, orange, and freshly baked bread. On the palate, vibrant notes of plum, cherry, red apple, and peach are complemented by toasty bread nuances, leading to a lingering finish.
