MUMM Sparkling Cuvée M

Sparkling Wine | 12.5% ABV | 750mL | California, USA | Non-Vintage | Sec Style | Traditional Method

Process & Profile

MUMM Sparkling Cuvée M combines California-grown grapes with traditional-method sparkling winemaking. Built around Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, the blend undergoes its second fermentation in the bottle and spends an average of 16 months aging on the lees, contributing texture and subtle bakery notes.

Made in a Sec style, Cuvée M offers a touch of sweetness balanced by bright citrus. Fine bubbles accompany ripe peach, orange, and strawberry notes, while a creamy finish gives the wine a soft, rounded character. It is an inviting choice for celebrations, brunch, or pairing with dishes that benefit from a little sweetness.
