Woodbridge Brut Sparkling Wine is an affordable luxury that can be enjoyed every day. Woodbridge by Robert Mondavi Brut Sparkling Wine displays green apple, ripe pear, and bright citrus notes with a toasty finish. “Our Brut Sparkling is an extremely versatile wine and matches well with a wide variety of food from salty snacks and appetizers to light entrées and fruit-based desserts,” notes Todd Ziemann, Director of Winemaking at Woodbridge Winery. For summer celebrations such as weddings, graduations, or 4th of July picnics, Todd recommends pairing it with grilled oysters, crispy fried chicken, or strawberry shortcake.
Brut describes the driest Champagne with the least residual sugar. The sweetness level of the sparkling wine is determined by the amount of sugar added after the second fermentation and aging period.
Sparkling wines and Champagnes are categorized as Brut, Extra Brut, Extra dry, Sec and Demi-sec depending on their sugar levels. Brut Champagne is sold without any residual sugar and these wines are referred to as Brut Natural and, unlike earlier Champagnes, it's dry and not sweet.
Champagne and sparkling wines are also categorized as "vintage" or "non-vintage" (NV on the label) meaning they either come from a single year or are a blend of several different years. The "vintage" Champagnes are typically pricier, as the non-vintage Champagne and sparkling wines make up the majority of the market. Read More...
