I tasted this at the winery. It was simply labeled "Sparkling Wine" on the tasting sheet, and the website refers to it as "Sparkling Brut" It is made from Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, and we were told that at least some of its vinification takes place in Asheville because RayLen lacks the equipment required for certain aspects of making sparkling wine.
It had a crisp, apply aroma with a whiff of yeast. It's quite a nice sparkler- bracing, clean and dry. Not a ton of complexity, but it's a good example of sparkling wine. I would have bought a bottle, but it's just a tad steep at $23.99.
