Tasting Notes: Similar to dry Lambrusco! Juicy, crackling, bright, snappy, crushable, pizza party approved. Though Dornfelder and Lambrusco come from different corners of Europe (Germany and Italy), they share a joyful kinship in the glass. Both are deeply colored, vibrantly fruity, made to be chilled and shared. Like Lambrusco, Dornfelder comes alive with a little sparkle, showing off juicy notes of black cherry, wild berries, and plum, all lifted by a playful floral twist. Bubble Bath channels that energy with a unique Michigan twist.

Winemaking Notes: The Dornfelder grapes were harvested early to retain bright acidity and vibrancy. Grapes were crushed the same day that they were harvested, destemmed and cold soaked for four days below 40°F without the use of sulfites to gently extract vivid color and flavor while avoiding harsh tannins. After pressing, the juice fermented cold in stainless steel. Fermentation started spontaneously and then about a week and a half later, some yeast additions were added. After fermentation, the wine aged sur lie for texture until bubbles were added for that perfect, crisp sparkle. Carbonation finished at 2 atmospheres of pressure. With less than 40 ppm of sulfites, Bubble Bath is low SO2 and well below organic standards.
