Fresh, textural, and quietly expressive, this sparkling wine is made slowly, with minimal intervention—a serious sparkling for all of life's joyful moments.
Like the delphinium flower, whose blue is one of nature's rarest hues, this sparkling wine is uncommon—a rare expression of old world method and the Californian coast.
Stone fruit, coastal flowers, citrus blossom, sea spray, quince, lemon zest, and a salty sea breeze.
Dew on spring flowers, a walk on the beach at dawn, the memory of freshly baked bread, a smile from a stranger.
Freshly-shucked oysters with lemon, fresh cheeses, steamed clams with herbs, or good company.
No herbicides or pesticides ever. We honour the land by farming for microbial health and bio-diversity in the vineyard.
Delphinium is founded, owned and operated by a lady — with the love, support and inspiration of her family, colleagues and friends.
No commercial additives or machinery. Wine made with real hands (and sometimes feet) and always lots of heart.
We donate a portion of profits to the National Marine Sanctuary Foundation for tide pool conservation and restoration.
Founded by sommelier and winemaker Courtney Humiston, whose dedication to a living-seed love for Champagne, coastal terroir, and the realization of a long-held love for this style of sparkling wine.
Each bottle tells the story of Northern California's willful and powerful Pacific Ocean.
More About the Maker
"It's crisp, with bubbles that taste creamier and softer than what you'd expect from Champagne. I can't say I've ever had the pleasure of inhaling a delphinium flower, but the wine does smell resoundingly floral."
