Overview

The Empire Estate Sparkling Rosé benefits from the region’s mineral-rich, well-draining soils, which are ideal for growing high-quality grapes. This rosé is crafted primarily from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, with the fruit undergoing fermentation in stainless steel to preserve its fresh, vibrant characteristics. Following primary fermentation, the wine undergoes secondary fermentation in the bottle, a traditional method that develops its fine bubbles and complex flavors. The sparkling rosé is aged on its lees for several months, which contributes to its creamy texture and nuanced notes of red berries and citrus, balancing freshness with depth.
