Dosaage Winery

Description:

The Dosaage vineyard still claims views of an island of rolling Iowa ag-land, nestled in next to our commercial horse boarding facilities, and just minutes from downtown Des Moines. Our commitment to estate grown, individually handcrafted wines, results in each one a true reflection of the terroir located just a few feet from the production area. Track the journey of your wine’s grape to glass and then taste and feel the reflection of those particularized, incremental land, weather, vineyard management, harvest, crush and processing experiences over time.

As our name reflects, at Dosaage, we have a bubble crush! There’s no doubt about the passion that drives our commitment to the wines that traditionally mark celebration and the recognition of special events and lives full of success and color. But make no mistake, these bubbly wines can represent the celebration of every moment and transition from aperitif to dessert and everything in between. Versatile, inspirational, reflective and always engaging, traditional method, bottle-fermented and hand disgorged/dosaged sparkling wine is the heart of who we are. These living wines take extra time, extra patience, additional steps in the process, more decision points, and specialized equipment. We are now bringing the first of these wines through the final steps of this labor-intensive traditional process--to cork and wire hood--and we will continue our overwatch of their aging in our 65 degree “cave” in the meantime. At Dosaage, we want to recognize every moment with that pop of cork and mist of bubbles that triggers anticipation, excitement and celebration in us all. We Have a Bubble Crush, and we think you should too!
