✨Our Proudest Winemaking Moment✨

Today I want to tell you more about one of our proudest winemaking moments!

Since day one I dreamt of making a SJ sparkling wine. After years of working with our amazing winemakers, we launched the very first vintage of our Sparkling Rosé of Pinot Noir in 2020. It was love at first sip. 🍾🌸🥂

This deliciously-fresh, elegantly-textured sparkling rosé has aromas & flavors of strawberries & white flowers with a hint of mandarin peel, brioche & apricot. It’s just heaven.

The making of this wine is an absolute labor of love - & it’s our most special wine to date. 

✨Quick heads up!✨ We just reopened our wine club to welcome a few new members! See my Story for details if you want more info or are ready to join & check your email tomorrow! 💌

You can also DM me ✨INVITE✨ to learn more about our organically-farmed wines, wine club & pricing, & to receive your invitation to join! Spots are limited and once we sell out we will close our club until summer!

Our sparkling is crafted using Méthode Champenoise, the traditional, French sparkling production style, with 100% organically-farmed Pinot Noir from our beloved Sonoma Mountaintop Estate Vineyards. 

Our sparkling rosé is a distinct expression of our rare Mountaintop terroir - & will take your breath away! 

To really know this wine is to better understand how much love goes into its making. Who wants to see a little BTS of our sparkling production?

First, our winemakers create the beautiful rosé base wine from our estate Pinot Noir fruit...

Next, the wine is bottled with a little more yeast, & laid down under a crown cap to rest “en tirage” & produce the CO2 / bubbles! 🫧 

After a year, it’s “riddled” (the bottles are turned a few times a day so the yeast falls to the neck of the bottle for later disgorgement). 

Disgorging time! The bottles are loaded neck down into a freezing solution to suspend the yeast for removal. I love the sound here! 💥

Finally, the bottle is corked, secured with a gold cage, & labeled. ​​Et Voila! Dancing Sophie James Sparkling bottles!

We hope you’ll join us this spring! 🌷
