2020 Ransom POMP Aromatic White Sparkling

$19.00

The 2020 RANSOM POMP wine ($19.00) is smooth and crisp, an ebullient field blend that captures the lovely floral character of white wines during the harvest season. This wine smells like a mouthful of spring air, with aromas of green grass and fresh cut fig leaves that lead to a palate profoundly textured by fresh apple and citrus fruit, white pepper spice and the lingering touch of a French oak barrel.

Winemaking

An ebullient field blend that captures the lovely floral character of white wines during the harvest
season. We craft a blend of small lots of aromatic varietals and arrest them at the peak of their
expressiveness and then introduce gentle carbonation to lift and preserve the vivid aromatics and
fresh fruit flavors.

Vintage Notes

2020 began with a cool, wet spring. Budbreak was tracking in a normal pattern, while rain
during bloom caused yields to be lower than normal - focusing concentration of berry and
flavor development. A cooler than normal July and August helped the fruit ripen slowly and
evenly, with a heat bump in the first week of September to help finish out the year.

Tasting Notes

Experience the splendor of this o-dry aromatic white blend with fresh aromas of ripe ruby
grapefruit, white peach, lychee fruit, and jasmine. The palate confirms luscious fruit and citrus
flavors with the addition of honeysuckle and lemon meringue. The pleasant sweetness of fruit
and honey is balanced with racy acidity while the subtle sparkling character lifts your spirits and
your palate. Enjoy well-chilled while celebrating good times with friends and family.
