C. Cassis Cassette Marigold

Where: Hudson Valley, New York 
What: Hudson Valley blackcurrants, french marigolds, lemongrass
Body: Medium
Category: Sparkling Wine 

From the maker: 

Re-hydrated blackcurrants fermented on champagne yeast with French marigold. Fermented dry, pressed off, back sweetened with fresh blackcurrant juice and bolstered with a teeny bit of lemongrass then secondary (tertiary?) fermentation in the bottle. The result is a 9% abv picnic wine that’s drinking like a super dry Lambrusco. Earthy and girthy without losing that characteristic blackcurrant brightness, and a little peppery grassy element from the marigold. Nice bubble nothing crazy.
