It’s 100% Chardonnay from the Russian River Valley, a region renowned for sparkling wine because it pairs warm days with cool, fog-drenched evenings that keep acidity high. The Special Reserve series, in Herzog’s words, “curates California’s most regarded wine growing regions and small lot artisan winemaking.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe wine is made by the traditional method: the second fermentation that creates the bubbles takes place in the individual bottle, and the bottles are then turned by hand for at least a year so the yeast infuses the wine evenly. The winery acknowledges it is “more timely and costly” but says it “produces the tightest bubbles and the cleanest flavors and textures a sparkling can have.” The bottle celebrates over 180 years of Herzog family winemaking, a heritage that began in Europe and now runs through Herzog Wine Cellars in Oxnard, California, one of the leading kosher wine producers in the United States.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe tasting notes describe a wine that is “elegant and fresh on the palate, crisp and lively notes of green apple, lime zest and lemon custard with hints of candied ginger and sugar cookie on the finish.” It’s vegan, OU kosher, mevushal, and Kosher for Passover, which makes it a rare kosher sparkling wine with a traditional-method pedigree, and a natural choice for a Seder, a wedding toast, Rosh Hashanah, or any celebration where you want a serious bottle of bubbles for a kosher table.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigins \u0026amp; Craftsmanship\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eHerzog NV Special Reserve Méthode Champenoise Chardonnay is produced by Herzog Wine Cellars in Oxnard, California, from 100% Chardonnay grown in the Russian River Valley, Sonoma County.
