Cruse, Tradition Rosé 2019

Featured, December 2024, in the LA Times article "10 Best California sparkling wines to try right now."

Only 350 cases of this rosé are produced, with each bottle numbered and aged a minimum of 30 months. Bright, refreshing, and delightful with a peachy-salmon hue and a soft, persistent mousse. It begins with aromas of ripe red berries, cherries, biscuits, and a savory richness. The layered palate combines a creamy yet lively texture with focused acidity, perfectly balancing deep berry fruit flavors and the savory notes, with a depth that lingers.

This versatile sparkler complements a wide range of dishes. Pair it with roast white meats, fresh seafood, crispy greens or fish tacos. It also shines alongside fried foods like chicken or tempura shrimp.
