2006 Ocean Reserve

Ocean Reserve is a special, limited edition Sparkling Wine created in partnership with National Geographic to benefit the ocean. For every bottle you purchase, Iron Horse will donate $4 to establish marine protected areas and reduce overfishing around the world. The vintage is 2005, 100% Chardonnay, aged four plus years. The finishing element, the dosage, makes it unique.

Food Pairing

Created expressly to pair with sustainable seafood, from grilled clams with chervil butter, oysters with smoked paprika and peach, to mackerel with fig and orange salsa. There are a number of recipes on the National Geographic Society website to help you kick start your own ocean inspiration.
