Winemaker Notes
Modern and immediate. This evolution of bubbles. POPUP says YES to purity. YES to integrity. YES to flavor. Single vineyard, noble varietal, POPUP smells of honeysuckle, orange blossom, lilac with peach, lemon curd and pie crust. Smooth, long and delicious. POPUP for the moment and the moment is now!
Blend: 100% Chardonnay

All from the Evergreen Vineyard and with around 8 grams of dosage, the 2018 POPUP is clean and vibrant, with juicy peach and green all notes balanced by bright acidity. It's clean, classy, and has a fine mousse and a great finish. Made by the team at K Vintners, drink this undeniably delicious sparkling wine any time over the coming year or so.

A fun, easy chardonnay with a fresh, creamy and lightly frothy texture and a delicious, dry finish. Refreshing and fun with attractive fruit. Crown cap.

In paying homage to the Old World in this New World project, I'm using Chardonnay, the noble varietal of Burgundy and Champagne, and techniques from the greatest sparkling wine regions in the world. Washington State is my home and I stick to my origins in winemaking. Single-vineyard, single-varietal, sustainably farmed and native fermented. Pure, and always, 100% Washington State.
Up until this moment, my mission has been HONESTY and COMMUNICATION. And now I add a new chapter of ART and TRADITION. Yes, I've embraced color. No more just black and white for me, Mom. From the throwback crown cap that reminds you of the familiar, to the actionable pop art label that suggests what you'll find within. Delicious, exciting and infinitely pleasant to drink. POPUP is The New Pop Culture.
Representing the topmost expression of a Champagne house, a vintage Champagne is one made from the produce of a single, superior harvest year. Vintage Champagnes account for a mere 5% of total Champagne production and are produced about three times in a decade. Champagne is typically made as a blend of multiple years in order to preserve the house style; these will have non-vintage, or simply, NV on the label. The term, "vintage," as it applies to all wine, simply means a single harvest year.
