Cultivar Brut Rose Sparkling Wine Santa Lucia Highlands

The Cultivar Brut Rosé Sparkling Wine from the Santa Lucia Highlands is a wine of breathtaking cool-climate elegance, vivid color, and the kind of focused, mineral-driven sparkling rosé character that makes the Santa Lucia Highlands one of California's most exciting and distinctive appellations for serious sparkling wine production. Perched high in the mountains above the Salinas Valley, the Santa Lucia Highlands benefits from some of the most dramatic diurnal temperature swings in California — warm sunny days and bracingly cold nights — creating conditions for sparkling wine base wines of outstanding natural acidity, vivid fruit expression, and the structural tension that is the foundation of all great bubbly. The Cultivar Brut Rosé expresses this terroir with beautiful precision: a delicate salmon-pink color leads to aromas of fresh wild strawberry, red cherry, raspberry, rose petal, and a fine toasty mineral note, while the palate is crisp, focused, and elegantly dry with fine persistent bubbles, excellent acidity, and a clean, refreshing finish of lovely length and precision.
