Gruet Brut

Wine Spectator Rating: 90

Pairs well with:  Everything

Put down the Korbel.  Gruet is here and it is one of the best kept secrets around.  Grown in New Mexico (yes, New Mexico) with French vines, this sparkling champagne was rated 90 by Wine Spectator and was the #1 Sparkling Wine on Wine Spectator’s Top 100 Values of 2016.

Rated a 90 from Wine Spectator: “This sleek sparkler is expressive with its floral apple and toasty cinnamon aromas and crisp, layered flavors of lime and mineral.”

Winemaker’s Notes:

The Brut offers a crisp, and full-bodied sparkling wine, which has developed rich complexity and fine mousse. The allure of toasty finish from twenty-four months on tirage, is a complement to the sophisticated apple and citrus flavor. Winemaker s Note: Brilliant with ultra fine bubbles. A wonderful fine bouquet dominated by green apple and grapefruit flavors.
