Alma Fria, Brut Rose 2023 Anderson Valley, Ca

From the remote ridges of the West Sonoma Coast, Alma Fria is the passion project of acclaimed winemaker Carroll Kemp, who spent 17 years at Red Car before founding this boutique winery in 2012. This fourth release of their stunning sparkling rosé comes from the cool, high-altitude Manchester Ridge vineyard, crafted using the traditional champagne method to showcase the pristine terroir of this rugged coastal region.

The palate delivers continuous streams of tiny bubbles with energetic acidity and a touch of sea salt minerality. White flower aromatics blend with juicy red berries and citrus fruit, finishing with vibrant coastal freshness and elegant persistence.
