Red sparkling was inconceivable many years ago and it is still rare. Knots and Shuttles is Horton's flight into red sparkling. It is a dry red wine, deep garnet color with berry aromas ad a lingering effervescent finish. Knots and Shuttles is also the last installment of the Gears & Lace, Steam Punk line of wines.
"No one expects the Spanish Inquisition (or a sparkling Tannat)! Knots and Shuttles is an extraordinary leap of imagination, a sparkling Tannat that is rich and powerful, but at the same time, truly elegant. (Think linebacker in a tutu). Who knew that Tannat had a secret quality of finesse, perfume and elegance? Horton has shared with the world its secret. " - Randall Grahm
