Vara Winery & Distillery was established in Albuquerque in 2016. Their sparkling wine maker is Laurent Gruet, whose family has a long history making sparkling wines, beginning with their Champagne house, Gruet et Fils in1952 in Bethon, France. Zero Dosage means that no sugar was added to the wine when it was disgorged and finished after the second fermentation. It is a bone-dry wine with a pale golden color and gently rising tiny bubbles, lean and crisp in the mouth with light peach and citrus flavors. Enjoy it with grilled shellfish or while watching a movie with buttered popcorn.
