Description: 2020 marks our second vintage of the Waves white wine. Our goal is to make a canned wine that is bursting with personality and deliciousness. This is a lightly sparkling white wine that is incredibly classy — we are so happy with it. Old vine French colombard, with its light fruitiness, takes us to our happy place. The flavors of this variety on its own are round, with melon and marshmallow notes, but by adding barbera and a touch of chenin blanc, we were able to give the wine more definition and minerality on the palate.  

The 2020 Waves White has aromas of white peach, honeydew melon, and grapefruit along with hints of wet stone. The palate shows melon, grapefruit, and a gentle sparkle and racy acidity. This is the grown-up version of Squirt, the iconic soft drink we enjoyed on hot summer days as kids.
