Serving & Food Pairing
Learn more about our wines, varieties and approach to winemaking.
What food goes well with Blanc de Blancs?
Blanc de Blancs is a wonderful match for oysters, fresh seafood, sushi, soft cheeses and salty snacks. It's also a great aperitif before a meal.
What food pairs with Sparkling Rosé?
Sparkling Rosé pairs beautifully with charcuterie, salmon, summer salads and berry desserts. It also works well on its own as an afternoon drink.
What temperature should sparkling wine be served at?
Sparkling wine is best served well chilled, at around 6–9°C. Chill the bottle in the fridge for a few hours, or in an ice bucket with water and ice for about 20–30 minutes.
What glass should I use for sparkling wine?
A tulip-shaped glass or a white wine glass is ideal. These shapes keep the bubbles lively while letting the aromas come through. Flutes look classic but can mute the aromas.
How long does sparkling wine last once opened?
With a sparkling wine stopper, an opened bottle will keep its bubbles in the fridge for one to three days.
Can sparkling wine be cellared?
Traditional method sparkling wines like Blanc de Blancs can develop richer, toastier characters with some bottle age. Store bottles on their side in a cool, dark place with a steady temperature.
