Temecula's Pink Sparkler, From a Family Winery
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 grown into one of Temecula Valley's best-known stops, famed above all for its sparkling wines. This rose is one of the core bottlings in that sparkling range: a French Colombard and Chardonnay base with a red grape blend for its pink colour, naturally fermented in tank, and finished semi-sweet and refreshing rather than bone dry. It is a picnic-and-celebration wine in the winery's own telling — fruity, vibrant and easy to pour for a crowd. Browse the range on the Wilson Creek vendor page and in our sparkling wine collection.
Tasting Notes
Per the winery: strawberry and melon aromas and flavours, an initial burst of bubbles settling to a fine stream, and a vibrant, crisp, effervescent palate with balanced acidity and a rich mouthfeel — clean and refreshing on the finish.
How to Enjoy
Serve well chilled. The winery suggests it for picnics, with fresh strawberry poundcake, a vibrant seafood salad, spicy Asian dishes, or light, creamy cheeses such as goat cheese or brie. More roses are in our rose wine collection.
