Rouge Brute — Sparkling Red

The next evolution of a new concept around sparkling red wine. In the US, sparkling red is a non-category. This vintage adds old-vine Carignan and Primitivo to the Merlot–Albariño base — reds deliver sweet underlying fruit while Albariño keeps things energetic and light. Fresh fruit and herbs fill the glass.

Winemaking: Each variety fermented separately and blended before bottling. Albariño direct-pressed and fermented in stainless steel. Reds fermented whole-cluster for 10 days via submerged-cap carbonic maceration (limits harsh tannin), then aged in neutral barrel through malolactic. Bottled with fresh yeast and a small amount of sugar, yielding lower pressure — which complements the red-wine tannins.

As featured in Food & Wine and Wine Enthusiast.

Blend: 33% Merlot · 33% Albariño · 24% Carignan · 10% Primitivo · Vintage: 2023 · 12% ABV
