A Legacy of Intention, Fit for Royalty
Our Royal Cuvée is more than just a wine; it’s a testament to our quality and intentionality. This iconic sparkling wine carries a story that began with a truly momentous occasion in 1987, when the Ferrer family had the distinct honor of serving its very first vintage to the King and Queen of Spain. Ever since that day, we have been passionately perfecting this remarkable wine, pouring our dedication into every bottle.
A Dance of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay
What truly sets our Royal Cuvée apart is its remarkable and exquisite balance. Imagine a graceful dance: the dominance of Pinot Noir brings a vivacious fruitiness that enlivens the senses, while the Chardonnay lends an elegant structure and the promise of longevity. The result of this beautiful partnership is a wine that doesn’t just age, but evolves with captivating grace throughout its extended aging process, revealing new layers of complexity and charm over time.
From Our Carneros Estate to Your Glass
The journey of every bottle of Royal Cuvée begins in our sun-kissed Carneros estate vineyards. Here, with the utmost care, we handpick the grapes each vintage, selecting only the best fruit that meets our exacting standards.
Once harvested, these precious grapes are cautiously pressed in whole clusters. This gentle technique is crucial to preserve their delicate vibrancy and the pure essence of the fruit. Each vintage is then carefully blended, a meticulous process aimed at achieving optimal quality and ensuring the wine’s capability for graceful aging. This carefully crafted wine then ferments in stainless steel tanks, a method chosen to maintain those pristine, bright characteristics, before it is finally laid to rest for five years on the yeast, allowing it to develop its signature depth and complexity.
A Symphony for the Senses
Pouring a glass of Royal Cuvée is an invitation to a delightful sensory experience. Alluring aromas of light citrus and fresh apple gently greet you. Then, take a sip, and your palate is awakened by a vibrant burst of fresh green apple and crisp pear, with a subtle, uplifting hint of lemon zest.
The fine, delicate bubbles create a wonderfully full and luxurious mouthfeel, a signature of traditional method sparkling wine. It’s here that the perfect blend of creamy Chardonnay and rich Pinot Noir truly shines, culminating in a lovely, lingering finish that invites you to savor the moment.
An Invitation to You
Royal Cuvée is not just a sparkling wine. It is a journey through time, a radiant testament to the exceptional quality of the fruit that goes into each bottle, our unwavering commitment to the traditional method of winemaking, and our heartfelt dedication to crafting a wine that evolves beautifully, not just in its nuanced complexity, but in its very character.
