From the terroir to the winemaking, this sparkling Brut rosé has a stellar provenance. Grown in the Russian River, where pinot noir and chardonnay thrive, the grapes are hand-harvested and the pinot is cold-soaked to preserve its fresh, strawberry notes. Adding the chardonnay lends a vibrant structure. With aromatics of red summer berries, followed by strawberries, lemon curd, and bread on the palate, this Brut rosé balances well with charcuterie and grilled meats.
Varietals: 81% Pinot Noir, 19% Chardonnay
Nose: Fresh strawberry and lemon
Palate: Red berries, citrus and warm yeast
Alcohol: 13.5%
Appellation: Russian River Valley, Sonoma, CA

We Love This With
Few things say "party" like a bottle of sparkling Brut rosé and a whole dry-cured Spanish ham. Pop the cork on this Russian River beauty and serve it with a festive centerpiece like D’Artagnan’s Mangalitsa Ham. This rare breed is beloved by top chefs at restaurants like New York's Colicchio & Sons and Bar Boulud. We can't think of a better way to celebrate.
