Production notes
Gloria Ferrer has been perfecting its Royal Cuvée since the first vintage was served to the King and Queen of Spain in 1987. The ideal balance of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay provides freshness and vibrancy, while allowing layers of complexity to develop over an extended aging (five years) on the lees.
Tasting notes
Earthy notes and toasty brioche greet the nose, followed by aromas of baking spice. Harmonious flavors, reminiscent of warm apple pie, open on the palate. Red apple and D’Anjou pear give way mandarin orange and Meyer lemon. Layers of fruit flavors linger in the finish.
