Gloria Ferrer Brut Methode Champenoise Pinot Noir

The sonoma brut has been carefully crafted entirely from hand-harvested pinot noir and chardonnay grapes. The brut is dominated by pinot noir a stylistic decision enabling the complex aromatic and palate profile that this red-skinned grape contributes to brut cuvees. Delicate pear and floral notes backed by toasty almond. On the palate one finds lively citrus toast and apple flavors overlaid with persistent effervescence a creamy mid-palate and toasty finish. A tremendously versatile wine that is equally delicious with shellfish crab roasted chicken or sushi. Seasoning affinities include lemon grass fennel and white pepper. Look to hard aged and triple creme cheeses with meyer lemon compote for the cheese course.
