ROSE-NV description

ROSE-NV
GRUET-New Mexico

This nearly garnet Rose, like all our non-vintage sparkling wines, is aged 24 months en tirage. It has a lovely, bright floral bouquet with hints of strawberry, raspberry, and cherry. On the palate, it is rich and fruity in a dry, Brut style. The flavor of berries continues on the palate, revealing more strawberry, raspberry, cherry. This sparkler is lots of fun and very festive. Production is limited to 5000 cases per year.
“In my search for wine sanity, I’ve grown increasingly fond, even ardent, for the sparkling wines of New Mexico’s Gruet Winery, particularly their Blanc de Noirs and Brut non-vintage bottlings. I’m willing to bet that you can put them in a blind tasting with bubblies three times that price and they’ll hold their own. (And I can guarantee you that if these exact same wines said “Napa Valley” they’d cost three times as much and get it.).” Matt Kramer in the Wine Spectator

BLANC DE NOIR -NV -METHODE CHAMPENOISE description

BLANC DE NOIR -NV -METHODE CHAMPENOISE
GRUET-New Mexico

The rich and toasty character of Blanc de Noirs is balanced and superb. Aged for two-year minimum, the palate is developed and shows rich complex flavors. The amazing berries aromas and the creamy texture play a leading role and create a great finesse. A fine salmon color, aggressive mousse and a lovely fruity wine with plenty of immediate charm and toasty aromas. There is also an explosive juicy flavor of raspberry. Gruet’s products have won many awards. “Elegant and focused, with creamy vanilla and apple aromas and rich yet crisp flavors of baked pear and cinnamon bread.”
The Wine Spectator, 90 points. “The Blanc de Noirs…received one of my highest ratings. Even the non-vintage Brut was excellent…This is a winery that merits attention…” Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate. “In my search for wine sanity, I’ve grown increasingly fond, even ardent, for the sparkling wines of New Mexico’s Gruet Winery, particularly their Blanc de Noirs and Brut non-vintage bottlings.

A crisp and full-bodied sparkling wine which has developed rich complexity and fine mousse.

A wonderful fine bouquet dominated by green apple and grapefruit flavors. Gruet’s products have won many awards. “”Full bodied, flavorful, mouth filling bubbly with layers of bold, fresh fruit and flavors accented by butter and vanilla and vivid acidity. Quite enjoyable.”
