Demi-Sec 2017

a Blend-Sparkling from Los Carneros • CA
by Gloria Ferrer
$45 per bottle

The Demi-Sec was created with an eye toward the sweeter things in life, while maintaining the crispness and acidity you’ve come to love in Gloria Ferrer wines. This finely balanced, semi-sweet sparkling wine is fruit forward, subtle and clean. The nose has lovely stone fruit aromas of peaches and apricots, with lemon meringue pie and candied ginger rounding out the fruit. On the front of the palate, there is soft white chocolate followed by rich quince and tart kumquat rounded out with an herbaceous finish.

Winery Picture

Gloria Ferrer

As the first winery to produce world-class sparkling wine in Carneros, Gloria Ferrer is an icon of Sonoma Valley and the Carneros region. We embrace the diversity of our area, the beauty of our natural surroundings, the spirit of effortless elegance and the innovative vision that brought us here and continues to drive us to this day. 

When José and Gloria Ferrer first visited Sonoma County in the 1980’s, there was not yet a sparkling wine house in Carneros, but for them, the potential of this region was unmistakable. They recognized the ideal climate for Pinot Noir and Chardonnay — and thus the perfect terroir for brilliant sparkling wines. In 1982, the estate was founded and in 1986, we opened our doors and never looked back. With an eye on generational continuity and long-term sustainability, the family was resolute that they would create wines that would sustain the lands and their community. Since the winery’s establishment, the wines have remained true to the Carneros terroir and the winery has remained a place to celebrate Sonoma culture and heritage. 

Our wines speak to our unique estates nestled at the base of the Sonoma Mountains and Wildcat Peak, both of which protect us from the strongest of the Carneros breezes and provide alluvial soils that nourish our Chardonnay and Pinot Noir vines. Our terroir is exceptional and distinctive -- the bay breeze, the soft hillside air, the bright sunshine and the cooling fog. Our vineyard practices allow us to capture the essence of our site in every bottle, and our winemaking practices ensure that we do.

Gloria Ferrer's style of sparkling wine is rooted in a dynamic blend of innovation and consistency; our winemaker uses creativity, ingenuity, and a gentle hand to reveal the distinctive Carneros terroir through our Pinot Noir-dominant sparkling wines. We are dedicated to producing wines that are the best reflection of the Carneros region. We like to say they are the bottled expressions of the vines, hillsides, fog, wind, and sky of Carneros.
