TRADITIONS OF TEA AND SPARKLING WINE


COME TOGETHER IN GARDEN SPRITZ TEA



The spirit of Chandon is that of a curious explorer, rooted in the traditional method of making sparkling wine, but with an adventurous sense of exploring new and unexpected territories. 


That spirit is evident throughout the latest offering in our Winemaker Explorations tier, Chandon Garden Spritz Tea.



Garden Spritz Tea is a showcase of the parallels between wine and tea, a delicious, innovative spritz that combines the best of both worlds. A perfected blend of our exceptional sparkling wine and a carefully crafted Earl Grey liqueur, it’s ready to chill and enjoy.



THE COMMON BONDS OF TEAS AND WINE


Tea and wine share much in common — from their roots in agriculture to their significance in culture, from their careful and complex processing techniques to the dedication of the crafts and the rituals associated with each.


Both tea and wine are sourced from a plant, deeply tied to the environment in which it grows, surviving and thriving through a combination of the ideal soil, the right climate, and careful cultivation. The way these plants have evolved in specific environments has created numerous varietals, all with unique aromas and nuances that reflect the land from which they came.


The crafts of teamaking and winemaking both begin with harvest, collecting the leaves and the grapes at the ideal moment to capture their aromatic expression. The refined production processes that follow this harvest are the result of centuries of experimentation and craftsmanship.


At the center of crafting the finest teas and wines is the art of blending. The aromas and flavors of unique plants are expertly combined to deliver a specific expression to your palate. There is a symphony of floral, fruit, and earthy notes found throughout the worlds of tea and wine.


And both also share the importance of the ritual of how they are served. Proper temperature, the right glassware, and the occasion in which they’re served all play an important role in how they’re enjoyed.


With so much in common, the worlds of tea and wine are a natural but often unexplored pairing.


WHAT GOES INTO GARDEN SPRITZ TEA

WHAT GOES INTO GARDEN SPRITZ TEA

The disciplines of teamaking and winemaking come together to create Garden Spritz Tea, blending exceptional sparkling wine with a delectable Earl Grey tea liqueur.


We start with an exquisite Chandon sparkling crafted using the traditional method, with chardonnay, pinot noir, and meunier. This fine sparkling wine is blended with the perfect amount of our tea liqueur to create a ready-to-pour spritz in a bottle.


Garden Spritz Tea’s Earl Grey blend is made with Darjeeling, Ceylon, and Assam teas infused with the oil of bergamot. This flavorful and vibrant mixture is cold-brewed in-house, and then blended into a liqueur that's added to our sparkling wine at dosage just before the bottle is corked.


WHAT TO EXPECT

The vibrant freshness and crisp fruitiness of our signature style of sparkling wine mingle with the elegant floral and citrus notes of the Earl Grey tea. Explore notes of quince, white peach, and black tea, setting up a lengthy, refreshing finish.


Garden Spritz Tea is an elegant sip on its own or can be paired with meat dishes like lightly smoked cod, salmon, or duck, vegetarian ramen or samosas, or even sweeter dishes like crème brûlée.
