Introducing Apothic Sparkling, or “Bubbles with Attitude.” This new, limited release wine blends red and white grapes together, leading to a sparkling white wine with a darker disposition. Notes of strawberry and white peach combine with a hint of vanilla for a wine that is best served with a chill. Winemaking Notes: The grapes for Apothic Sparkling were harvested at optimum ripeness during nighttime temperatures to retain fruit freshness. Fermentation at low to moderate temperatures, between 55°- 62° F, helped preserve the fruit flavors and create expressive aromatics. The wine was then moved to stainless steel tanks to preserve its brightness and balance.

Apothic Rosé

The 2020 Apothic Rosé is a light, refreshing wine with a dark nature. Aromas of rose petals and honey open, revealing notes of dark cherry, black raspberry and ripe strawberry on a clean mouthfeel. The finish is long with a burst of watermelon at the end. Viticulture Notes: California’s 2020 vintage experienced a cool, mild growing season with an accelerated heat spell in August, resulting in early ripening. Vintage 2020 grapes show vibrant acidity and concentrated flavor. We explored the state to find the best fruit for this blend from the heart of the Central Valley and Lodi. We harvested at the peak of quality to make a light-bodied, crisp and refreshing Rosé. Winemaking Notes: Most of the fruit was harvested at night to limit color extraction. The grapes were delivered in whole clusters to our membrane presses for the gentlest processing possible. We kept fermentation temperatures cool to preserve delicate red fruit aromas. A small portion of the blend underwent malolactic fermentation and lees stirring to create a soft, refreshing mouthfeel. The wine was kept cool until blending to maintain a perfect balance of acid and fruit.
