CARBONISTE: Redefining California Sparkling Wine

In the sun-drenched landscapes of California, where innovation meets tradition, CARBONISTE emerges as a beacon of modern sparkling wine. Founded by the dynamic husband-and-wife duo, Dan and Jacqueline Person, this winery is not just producing bubbles; it's crafting a revolution in the world of effervescent wines.

A Vision Beyond Champagne

Dan and Jacqueline's journey began with a simple yet profound question: Why emulate Champagne in California? With Dan's rich experience at esteemed establishments like Schramsberg and Jacqueline's insightful consultancy background, they recognized that California's unique terroir deserved its own sparkling identity. Thus, CARBONISTE was born—a brand that celebrates the state's distinctive climate and fruit-forward profiles, moving away from traditional French methods to embrace a style that's authentically Californian.

Innovative Sparkling Creations

CARBONISTE's portfolio is a testament to their commitment to innovation. They focus on capturing the essence of California's diverse grape varieties, producing sparkling wines that are fresh, vibrant, and unpretentious. Some of their standout offerings include:

  • Sparkling Albariño: A zesty and aromatic wine that showcases the potential of this Iberian grape in Californian soils.

  • Extra Brut Pinot Noir Rosé: A delicate pink sparkler that balances fruitiness with crisp acidity.

  • Pét-Nat Pinot Grigio: Embracing the ancestral method, this natural sparkling wine is a nod to the raw beauty of fermentation.

Each bottle reflects CARBONISTE's philosophy of minimal intervention, allowing the grapes' natural characteristics to shine through.
