NV Cruse Wine Co Tradition Rose Sparkling Wine
$68.00
Organic. Base 19 vintage. Pinot Noir makes up 68% of the blend, with approximately 7% being red wine, making it an assemblage rosé. Remaining 32% is Chardonnay. The vineyards used are Rorick Heritage Vineyard high in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada, Alder Springs from Mendocino County, and Keefer Ranch in Sonoma. The grapes were pressed using a traditional Champagne cycle and press cut. The vineyards were fermented separately in barrel with native yeasts, natural malolactic fermentation, and no sulfur added. In the late spring, the wines were blended and tirage bottled. After two years on lees, the bottles were riddled and disgorged with 2 g/L dosage. The wine was then left an additional 5 months before releasing.
