2012 Lady Edythe Reserve Brut

Named in honor of Rich Frank’s mother, Edythe, the Lady Edythe is a late disgorged sparkling wine with eight years on its lees. Its intensity and concentration derives from its predominately Chardonnay base that provides classic Champenoise minerality as well as elegant citrus fruit flavors. Its acidity has been softened and beautifully integrated by the wine’s maturity, yet it still is remarkably full of life.
