Tasting Notes:
Fresh strawberry and cherry dominate the nose and front palate. Citrus notes of ruby red grapefruit and lemon meringue dominate the finish. Enjoy with quiche Lorraine, pork loin, or risotto.
Terroir:
This wine is made from 100% estate-grown fruit. Our vines are sheltered in the foothills of Carter’s Mountain in the Monticello American Viticultural Area (AVA).
Winemaker's Notes:
This Brut Rosé is made via Méthode Champenoise by blending 88% Chardonnay and 12% Pinot Noir. Hand-picking and gently pressing ensures that this wine retains all of its best qualities. After aging in stainless steel tanks, the wine gains complexity by aging on the lees in the bottle for 48 months. At disgorging, a low dosage is added to balance acidity and improve mouth-feel.
