These wines included two still wines, a red and white. It also included two sparkling wines, a white and ros\u00e9.

The Pure Red and Pure White have a price range of about $18 &#8211; $22. The sparkling wines have a price range between $20 and $25.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Sparkling Wines<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our first bottle to open was the sparkling ros\u00e9. It was a hot summer day and we had a few neighbors over sitting ten feet apart in our back yard. Those wine drinkers in the group liked the ros\u00e9. The salmon colored sparkling wine was crafted with Pinot Noir, Pinot Grigio and Chardonnay. The Charmat method was used for the secondary fermentation. There were multiple columns of bubbles forming a central and circumferential mousse on the wine\u2019s surface. The aroma included berry fruits. The taste had raspberries and citrus. The smooth mouthfeel was lively. The finish was refreshing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-gallery alignright columns-1 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"http:\/\/winetrailtraveler.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IMG_0441.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"17306\" data-link=\"http:\/\/winetrailtraveler.com\/blog\/?attachment_id=17306\" class=\"wp-image-17306\" srcset=\"http:\/\/winetrailtraveler.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IMG_0441.jpg 640w, http:\/\/winetrailtraveler.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IMG_0441-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Pure White Sparkling Wine was a blend of Pinot Grigio and Chardonnay.

Apple was on the aroma, while the taste included apple and pear. The wine had a very creamy mouthfeel with a bit of liveliness. It too had a refreshing finish, perfect for hot summer days and throughout the year as an aperitif.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Still Wines<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Pure White was a blend of Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc.
