Beginning on June 14, Wolf Mountain Vineyards and Winery in Dahlonega, Georgia, will release three new sparkling wines that are created using the traditional Methode Champenoise, which is the “French Method” used in Champagne and involves several distinct steps. The winery, the first in Georgia to use this method in fine sparkling wine production, is also proud to announce that every aspect of the manufacturing process is done by hand, which will keep production very limited; 50 cases each of the Brut Rose and Sparkling Demi-Sec (both $23.95 per bottle) and 150 cases of the Blanc de Blancs Brut, the winery’s flagship sparkling wine ($19.95), will be released this year. This first release of sparkling wines will only be available at the Winery.

Karl Boegner, owner and winemaker of Wolf Mountain Vineyards and Winery began the research process by visiting Champagne houses in California as well as in Epernay and Reims, France. He studied the styles and techniques of these estates in order to incorporate the same exceptional methods while still maintaining a local, distinctive character.

Wolf Mountain Vineyards and Winery will offer their new sparkling wines as part of their winery tasting experience. For more information visit www.wolfmountainvineyards.com.
