Introduction:
The NV Gloria Ferrer Sonoma Brut is a lively and elegant sparkling wine from California’s Sonoma County. Blending finesse with bright fruit, it stands as a refined expression of American méthode traditionnelle.

Terroir:
Sourced from cool, fog-influenced vineyards in the Sonoma Carneros AVA, planted on well-drained loam and clay soils. The cool maritime climate supports slow ripening and maintains freshness in the grapes.

Appearance:
Pale straw-gold with a persistent, creamy mousse and fine streams of bubbles.

Nose:
Inviting aromas of green apple, lemon curd, and white peach mingle with nuances of brioche, toasted almond, and a hint of freshly baked bread—freshly autolytic yet fruit-forward.

Palate:
Medium-bodied, with crisp acidity and a silky texture. Flavors of pear, golden apple, and citrus twist are complemented by subtle nutty and baker’s yeast notes. The secondary fermentation in the bottle adds depth and complexity.

Finish:
Clean, refreshing, and balanced—lingering notes of orchard fruit, gentle toast, and citrus zest lead to a crisp, lively conclusion.

Overall Impression:
A polished and versatile non-vintage sparkling that delivers sophistication and charm. Excellent for celebrations or paired with oysters, crab cakes, sushi, or light appetizers. Best enjoyed now for peak effervescence and freshness.
