Vara's Silverhead American Brut is crafted by master sparkling winemaker Laurent Gruet in the classical methode champenoise.
Beautiful summer wheat color with persistent strings of tiny bubbles. The classical methode champenoise aromas of almonds, pears, apricots, and grapefruit blend with the unique chamomile floral and wet stone minerality from the addition of Spanish grapes. The mousse is creamy on the palate, light in body and has a refreshing acidity. The complex array of fruit, citrus, floral, and toasty flavors are showcased by a balanced dosage and linger to a very long finish. 25% Xarel-lo/Macabeo from Alt Penedes DO in Spain, and 72% Chardonnay with 3% Syrah from Ancient Lakes AVA in Washington State USA. | Vara Wines

The old vines of HMR form a unique vineyard mix lacking a source attribution, they are a 'massal selection' aka the 'HMR clone' having evolved from a multiplicity of original vines. The HMR designation indicates that the wine is based on our best vineyard sites and the oldest vines.
These esteemed old vines display the compelling attributes of new-world fruit entwined around old-world flavor and structure. Fruit forward aromas of black cherry, raspberry, and musky rose combine beautifully with savory allspice and rich earth. The rare soil combination, over limestone clay, creates both finesse and structure. Upon release, the wine is vibrant and juicy, this flavor profile originates from the natural bright fruit acidity of grapes grown in limestone soils. Overall, one of the more graceful vintages of HMR to sip and savor. | Adelaida
