The Bottled Mimosa That Started as a Customer Mix
Per the winery's own sheet, this wine exists because of its customers: for years, Wilson Creek drinkers described mixing their own mimosas on the winery's award-winning Almond Sparkling, so the winery bottled its own version — the famous Orange Mimosa, based on that Almond Sparkling. That is why almond sits alongside the orange in the glass: a French Colombard and Chardonnay sparkle, naturally fermented, finished with pure almond and orange flavour, semi-sweet and citrusy. It is positioned as a brunch signature approachable enough to convert drinkers who do not normally like sparkling wine — no juice, no mixing, just chill and pour. Wilson Creek itself is the family winery Gerry and Rosie Wilson opened in Temecula in 2000. Browse the range on the Wilson Creek vendor page and in our sparkling wine collection.
Tasting Notes
Per the winery: a sparkling citrus delight built on orange, with tangerine character, capturing the mimosa cocktail in bottled form — semi-sweet, soft and ready to drink straight from the bottle.
How to Enjoy
Serve well chilled, straight — no orange juice needed. The winery suggests it at brunch above all, and its tasting sheet pairs it with crusted seafood with basil, garlic and orange, roast duck, short ribs with orange-chipotle barbecue sauce, or chocolate ganache and white chocolate. More brunch-friendly bottles are in our wine collection.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to add orange juice to Wilson Creek Orange Mimosa?
No — it is a bottled mimosa: the orange (and almond) flavour is already in the wine. Chill it well and pour it straight.
Why does Wilson Creek Orange Mimosa taste of almond?
Because it is built on the winery's Almond Sparkling — per the winery, customers kept making mimosas on the Almond Sparkling, so the bottled version kept the almond alongside the orange.
How sweet is Wilson Creek Orange Mimosa?
Semi-sweet, and the sweetest of the three Wilson Creek sparklings in this batch on paper: the winery's tasting sheet lists residual sugar of 5.8%.
