Gloria Ferrer Brut
Description: | Winemaker Notes\r\nProduced exclusively with hand-picked grapes, this Cuv\u00e9e was put on the American market for the first time in 1985. It is prepared according to the traditional method. Its bouquet with pear aroma distinguishes it from other sparkling wines and the fruity aroma lends it an initial effervescence which culminates in a lingering, creamy effect.\r\n85% Pinot Noir, 15% Chardonnay\r\nWine Spectator 91 Points\r\nWine Enthusiast 90 Points\r\nAbout Gloria Ferrer\r\nJos\u00e9 Ferrer championed his family\u2019s dream of producing exceptional traditional method sparkling wine in the New World. In the 1980s, he ventured from Barcelona, Spain to Sonoma, California with his wife Gloria in search of the ultimate region to make sparkling wine. They settled upon Carneros\r\nFor 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 \u2014 and thus the perfect terroir for brilliant sparkling wines.\r\nWarm 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, three quarters with Pinot Noir vines and one quarter with Chardonnay vines.\r\n |
