Gloria Ferrer – Carneros Cuvée Rosé

The Carneros Cuvée Rosé is the Tête de Cuvée. It represents the best fruit from 335 acres of estate vineyards as well as our winemaking expertise in the art of blending. This special Cuvée Rosé is only produced in select vintage years. This wine is remarkably bright and complex and represents the ultimate statement of our sparkling house style.This is an elegant wine with a pale rose-gold color and aromas of red fruit and citrus. Flavors of orange zest and lemon tart with an underlying Red Delicious apple complement the soft mouthfeel and a lingering ginger-like finish.Grapes are handpicked & transported to the winery in small bins where they are gently whole-cluster pressed to retain the delicate vibrancy and freshness. Only the first press, with the most delicate flavors and aromas, is used for this wine that is fermented in stainless steel tanks at 55-60°F.After 6 months of first fermentation, the winemaking team assembles the final blend from 10 wines, hand selected from the best press fraction (or cuvée).Visit www.gloriaferrer.com/wine/carneros-cuvee-rose/
