Gloria Ferrer Blanc de Noirs Rose

A gentle pink tint comes from a specialized pressing method used on this light-bodied sparkling wine. The nose leads with strawberry and black cherry, touched by vanilla, while the palate turns creamy with cherry, lemon and cola notes. Fine, active bubbles carry a lush texture through a long finish.

Built from 92% Pinot Noir and 8% Chardonnay, the blend relies on hand-harvested Pinot Noir for its bright red-fruit core, with a measure of Vin Gris folded into the base cuvée to give the wine its rosy color and rounded feel. The 340-acre Sonoma Carneros estate is planted to more than forty clones and selections of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, supporting cuvées with layered complexity and clear fruit. Pairings run to crab, Thai dishes, roast pork, quail, foie gras and semi-sweet desserts, with star anise, plum sauce and tarragon as complementary seasonings; for cheese, try triple-aged gouda or hard aged styles alongside persimmons and hazelnuts. 750 ml, 12.5% ABV.
