Terah Wine Co. 'Méthode Traditionnelle' 2023 Sparkling Rosé California

750ml bottle

13.5% abv

Seamless interplay of opulence, aromatic complexity, and subtle brioche nuances. The Primitivo lays a robust foundation with ripe blackberry, juicy plum, and a touch of warming spice. Old vine Muscat brings floral aromatics and delicate honeyed tones. Chardonnay lends vibrant acidity, balancing the blend's richer elements. The result is a wine that's complex and lavish, with an elegant, lingering, off-dry finale.

75% Primitivo, 15% Old Vine Muscat, 10% Chardonnay

This unique blend of Primitivo, Muscat, and Chardonnay offers a captivating balance of richness, aromatics, and freshness. Primitivo is from Shake Ridge Ranch in Amador County. The old vine Muscat from Enz Vineyard in the Lime Kiln Valley AVA in San Benito County is some of the oldest Muscat in the state at 107 years old! Head-trained and dry-farmed, the vines are planted in limestone and decomposed granite soils. The Chardonnay is from Escolle Vineyard in Monterey County. 

Direct whole bunch pressed separately with a gentle champagne cycle. The wine was allowed to cold settle overnight and then racked. Primary fermentation of each lot occurred separately, then aged in barrel for 5 months. Unlike the Primitivo, the Muscat had a very short maceration on skins. The wines were blended after aging, cold-settled, and bottled for secondary fermentation. The entire process was hand-bottled and disgorged to ensure the finest quality of this traditional method of sparkling wine.
