Sparkle into Summer
At Gloria Ferrer, we’re celebrating the season with global recognition, winemaking milestones, and fresh ways to savor wine country.
Vineyard Happenings
We’re raising a glass to the land, and the people, who made this moment possible. After a nearly five-year journey marked by grit, innovation, and deep respect for nature, every acre of our 338-acre estate has officially been certified organic by California Certified Organic Farmers (CCOF).
P.S. We couldn’t have done this without our incredible vineyard crew. Their passion for sustainability and stewardship inspires every bottle we make. To them, and to you… cheers!
Winemaking Happenings
A note from Winemaker Kyle Altomare:
As we close out a long tirage season, I’m thrilled to share that all of our 2024 wines are now safely in bottles. These wines – many of which are destined for future sparkling releases – are now aging gracefully, awaiting their time to shine (or pop).
We’re now shifting fully into planning for the 2025 vintage. That means walking vineyard rows, estimating yields, and crafting each wine in my head before it hits the press. This is when intuition and experience come together – and it’s one of my favorite times of the year.
2018 Royal Cuveé
An impeccable balance of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, our Royal Cuvée preserves its vibrant fruit flavors while developing complexity during its 6 years of extended aging.
2012 Carneros Cuveé
This special cuvée is only produced in select vintage years. With over eight years en tirage and a minimum of six months on the cork, this decade-old wine is remarkably fresh, rich, and complex.
2021 Royal Cuveé Rosé
This Cuvée is strongly influenced by a preponderance of Pinot Noir in the blend, while a small amount of Chardonnay contributes structure and an extended finish.
