Since our inaugural vintage in 1997, we have been crafting traditional method sparkling wines. Every aspect of winegrowing and production is meticulously handled in-house by our dedicated team, led by Winemaker Chris Fladwood and Winegrower Tony Soter.
Tasting Notes
The 2014 Brut Rosé has been aging on lees for the last decade, gaining complexity and intrigue with every passing year. This wine presents an intricate flavor composition that offers a delightful and complex sensory journey. It begins with soft, ephemeral bubbles that dissipate quickly, creating an immediate and transient textural experience that hints at its delicate nature. As the tasting unfolds, a vibrant symphony of fruit flavors emerges, featuring caramelized grapefruit with its sophisticated, slightly burnt sugar-tinged citrus note, alongside macerated strawberry that brings a lush, deeply infused berry essence. The playful sweetness of tangerine candy adds a bright and cheerful touch to this fruity landscape.
Complementing these primary flavors are nuanced secondary notes that enhance the overall profile. Dried orange peel contributes a subtle, concentrated citrus backdrop, while herbal undertones introduce depth and botanical complexity. The tasting experience concludes with a distinctive nutty character and a subtle oxidative quality, suggesting maturity and refined complexity. This combination of elements creates a rich tapestry of flavors that invites exploration and enjoyment.
This limited release, with only 960 individually numbered bottles, is a testament to our unwavering commitment to the craft. It represents over a decade of patience and expertise, honoring our origins while delivering an exquisite tasting experience. This special addition to our lineup not only symbolizes our dedication to winemaking but also showcases the culmination of years of careful cultivation and artisanal production. The result is a wine that is both a reflection of our heritage and a delightful indulgence for the palate.
