GLORIA FERRER ROYAL ROSE CUVEE 20

For the Ferrers, whose Spanish sparkling winegrowing experience goes back generations, the potential of Los Carneros was unmistakable, even before it became an established AVA. They recognized the ideal climate for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay – and thus the perfect terroir for brilliant sparkling wines. Warm days, cool nights, predictable winds, summer fog, and a long growing season coax grapes to maturity slowly and consistently with a desirable balance of sugar and acidity. They immediately began planting the estate.

Tasting Notes:
This fruit forward rose can be perfectly paired with a bowl of fresh berries, especially raspberries. The acidity and freshness of this sparkler will pair well with watermelon lightly sprinkled with chili powder. For cheese, try semidry crumbles of feta, or a milky queso Arbequina Estate Olive Oil.
