The Summer Bottle in Wilson Creek's Sparkling Range
Wilson Creek — the Temecula winery the Wilson family opened in 2000 on land bought in 1996, and the home of the famed Almond Sparkling Wine — built a whole range of flavoured sparklings on its French Colombard and Chardonnay base, and Watermelon is its summer favourite: the winery positions it for picnics, beaches and barbecues, semi-sweet and refreshing with fine bubbles. The watermelon character runs through the wine from aroma to finish, over a clean, tank-fermented sparkle — nostalgia for mid-summer fruit, in a bottle that pours like a celebration. Find its siblings on the Wilson Creek vendor page and in our sparkling wine collection.
