This sparkling wine is made from Airen and Ugni Blanc grapes. These grapes grow in Beaune, Burgundy. The sunny climate here is perfect for these grapes, allowing winemaker Jean-Jacques Hochet to create top-notch wines. The grapes are cultivated with great care in the old vineyards. Even during the early morning harvest, the grapes are treated royally by hand. They are transported in small crates to the press to generate the start of the wine. After pressing, the wine, along with sugar and yeast, is then fermented in the cellars to develop a subtle mousse. Because this Veuve du Vernay Ice White is slightly sweet, the winemaker has added a higher sugar content.
The result is stunning! Start with a large wine glass. Fill it with the necessary ice cubes and the red fruit segments. Pour this delicious Veuve du Vernay Ice White over it. The aroma will reveal delightful notes of melon, red apple, and peach. The taste is pleasantly slightly sweet with nuances of peach, nectarine, and melon that harmoniously blend with the added red fruit. The finish is flavorful yet refreshing! It's important not to forget the ice cubes. This wine was specifically designed to be enjoyed over ice. This allows the flavors to truly shine, completing the tasting experience!
