Made exclusively from handharvested Chardonnay, this wine is the superb result of meticulous grape growing, artisanal cellar practices, and our winemaker’s considerable blending skills. Blanc de Blancs is prized among sparkling wine connoisseurs for the rich textural qualities, complex aromas and flavors, elegance, and solid aging potential.
José Ferrer championed his family’s dream of producing exceptional traditional method sparkling wine in the New World. In the 1980s, he ventured from Barcelona, Spain to Sonoma, California with his wife Gloria in search of the ultimate region to make sparkling wine. They settled upon Carneros…
For the Ferrers, whose Spanish sparkling winegrowing experience goes back generations, the potential of Los Carneros was unmistakable, even before it became an established AVA. They recognized the ideal climate for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay — and thus the perfect terroir for brilliant sparkling wines.
Warm days, cool nights, predictable winds, summer fog, and a long growing season coax grapes to maturity slowly and consistently with a desirable balance of sugar and acidity. They immediately began planting the estate, three quarters with Pinot Noir vines and one quarter with Chardonnay vines.
A mouthfilling, foamy texture and good, crisp green apple and citrus flavors bring an easy drinkability to this bottle of bubbles. A faint touch of sweetness accompanies subtle vanilla and butter accents. Jim Gordon, 10/1/2023.
Piercingly steely and vibrant, with appealing lemon custard, lime blossom and fresh ginger flavors that finish on a crisp, refreshing accent. Drink now. 5,000 cases made. Tim Fish, 6/30/2021.
