Korbel Brut California Champagne

The Korbel family came to California in the 1850s to build a life, earn a living and shape their own American dreams. Their story is the foundation for KORBEL— a story of American achievement. But, it didn’t start that way. It started like a revolution.

California wine production has a rich viticulture history since 1680 when Spanish Jesuit missionaries planted Vitis vinifera vines native to the Mediterranean region in their established missions to produce wine for religious services. In the 1770s, Spanish missionaries continued the practice under the direction of the Father Junípero Serra planted California's first vineyard at Mission San Juan Capistrano.

The state produces about ninety percent of the American wine supply and is the fourth largest wine producer among the world's independent nations. It has more than 1,200 wineries ranging from home-grown and small boutiques to large corporations with international distribution.

Korbel Brut California Champagne is the perfect complement to every celebration. Lively aromas of citrus and cinnamon lead to crisp flavors of orange, lime, vanilla and a hint of strawberry. Using the traditional méthode champenoise, Korbel Brut is fermented inside the same bottle from which it is served. This California winery blends some of the finest Chardonnay, Chenin Blanc, French Colombard and Pinot Noir grapes, to deliver delicate nuances and countless dazzling bubbles for a delicious California champagne.
