96% Chenin Blanc and 4% Viognier.
In 1995, Pine Ridge created an experimental blend of these two very different varieties, and we were thrilled to discover the delicious results. Pine Ridge Chenin Blanc + Viognier—an exceptional brand with an impressive history of popularity—is proud to launch its newest wine for its 25th Anniversary: Pine Ridge Sparkling Chenin Blanc + Viognier.
Crisp, bright, and vivacious, Sparkling CB+V is an aromatic wine boasting a bouquet of pear, green apple, and honeydew melon complemented by lime, nectarine, lemongrass, and apricot. The entry is bright and fresh, exhibiting flavors of green apples, lemon, lime, and lychee. The wine has beautifully balanced, crisp acidity, with a refreshing and slightly creamy note on the midpalate. The fine bubbles lift the aromas and flavors and carry them to the finish.
This sparkling wine pairs well with a number of dishes, from appetizers to light salads to seafood, and most notably with foods that have a hint of spiciness—its subtle sweetness provides balance alongside a touch of heat. It’s the perfect pour for the start of an evening with appetizers such as goat cheese, stuffed mushrooms, toasted almonds, even potato chips. Also try this wine with a flavorful Thai curry, fried chicken, quiche, or ham and brie sandwiches.
A bright and fresh blend of 80% chenin and 20% viognier, offering white peach and hints of candied lemon. Lightly steely with bitter-lemon notes. Just slightly off-dry.

Aromatic and fruity nose, slightly floral and honeyed. Sweet apple pie on the front palate with a slight richness on the finish. Refreshing.
