WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Saint Clair Sparkling Rosé is produced from 100% Pinot Noir grapes. Harvesting occurs at night to preserve freshness. The grapes undergo a brief period of skin contact, lasting only a few hours, to extract delicate flavor, aroma, and color before being pressed. The resulting juice is settled and then fermented entirely in stainless steel at cool temperatures to retain fruit character. The wine is then carbonated to create its effervescence.
