Une Femme The Betty is a non-vintage California sparkling brut from Une Femme Wines, bottled at 12% ABV.
It is a blend of 80% Pinot Noir and 20% Chardonnay, made unoaked to keep it bright and fresh.
Light and lively, it offers green apple, Meyer lemon peel and peach with jasmine, honeysuckle and orange blossom.
Dry and refreshing, it is an easy, versatile bubbly for brunches, celebrations and everyday toasts.
The Betty's bold gold-and-white label makes it a cheerful gift, and it is just as at home at a casual picnic as at a wedding toast.
Traditional-method sparkling wine is made the same way as Champagne: a still base wine is bottled with a little yeast and sugar, and the second fermentation in the bottle creates fine, persistent bubbles. Time resting on the spent yeast, the lees, adds the toasty, brioche-like notes that set these wines apart from tank-fermented styles.

How to Enjoy It
Serve The Betty well chilled in a flute or white-wine glass. It makes a sparkling base for mimosas with fresh orange juice, a French 75 with gin and lemon, or an Aperol spritz, and it is lovely with a splash of elderflower liqueur and a lemon twist. Pair it with oysters, fried chicken, popcorn, sushi, soft cheeses and fruit tarts. Once opened, reseal it with a sparkling-wine stopper and keep it in the fridge for a day or two. For a gathering, chill the bottle and set out glasses, ice and garnishes so guests can serve themselves. A bottle also makes a thoughtful host gift for a dinner party or the holidays.
