The Base Sparkler of Temecula's Flavoured Range
Wilson Creek is the family-owned Temecula winery the Wilson family built from land bought in 1996 — Gerry and Rosie Wilson opened the winery in 2000, and it has become one of Temecula Valley's best-known stops, famed above all for its sparkling wines. This Brut is the unflavoured foundation of that range: the French Colombard and Chardonnay sparkler the winery's flavoured bottlings are built on, made by natural tank fermentation and finished with an off-dry softness the winery itself describes as crisp, refreshing and "not too dry." Browse the range on the Wilson Creek vendor page and in our sparkling wine collection.

How to Enjoy
Serve well chilled. The winery suggests it as a warm-day pick-me-up with mild cheeses such as Brie and Apricot Stilton, and with brunch foods. More California bottles are in our wine collection.
