Tasting Notes: 

Blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Lemon curd, Fuji apple, and chamomile. Plus, the bubbles bring out some biscuit-y notes, balancing out its refreshing tartness.

Sipwell Wines: 

Sipwell wines is a female founded, black owned wine company that specializes in producing award winning canned wines. All of the grapes for their wines are sourced from sustainably farmed vineyards in the central coast of California and all of their sparkling wines are naturally can conditioned. All of their wines come in these single-serve aluminum cans that are infinitely recyclable and easily portable. 

Each can is 250 ml or 1/3 of a bottle of wine. 3 cans = 1 bottle of wine, 6 cans = 2 bottles of wine. 

Sparkling Wines:  

As with traditional method sparkling wines where the secondary fermentation takes place in the bottle, this wine was can conditioned using Champagne yeast. Which means the process to create the bubbles takes place directly in the closed can and the CO2 gets trapped in the wine. Though it is worth noting that because a can can withstand less pressure than a glass bottle, the bubbles in canned wine are less intense than other traditional method sparkling wines. 

Canned Wines: 

While still somewhat controversial there are a lot of benefits for canned wines. In terms of sustainability- Aluminum cans are lighter than bottles. That means that they can be transported using less energy whether that transportation be direct to the consumer or to and from the winery or to different warehouses along the distribution process. 

Some other benefits of canned wine includes the different sizes of cans. You can find anything for 187ml cans to 500ml. Though I would say the vast majority of the ones I see on the market are either a typical beer soda can size of 350ml or actually becoming more common is a 250ml size more suited to single servings. 

And finally, canned wines also eliminate the issues / risks of cork taint which spoils 2-3% of all wines. As well as the risks of oxidation and light penetration. 

Food & Wine Pairing: 

Sparkling wine is a great partner for food. The bubbles can provide a really nice match for foods with excellent texture. Such as anything fried or anything wrapped in puff pastry or phyllo dough. It is also a wonderful compliment to anything that is heavy in butter or cream and of course cheese. Also pairs well with salty foods, even  potato chips! Cap Classique wines tend to be a little fruitier than their Champagne counterparts so wines like this are also great with pork or chicken dishes that play with elements of sweet and sour.
