This distinctive sparkling wine dazzles with a radiant blush hue and an expressive bouquet brimming with vibrant aromas of sun-ripened raspberry, juicy strawberry, and lush cherry. Fine, graceful bubbles dance across the palate, unveiling zesty notes of ruby grapefruit, tangy blood orange, and a subtle toasted nuance. Crisp and lively, this fruit-driven sparkler boasts a rounded mid-palate and harmonious acidity. The finish is elegantly dry and lingering.

While Agoston Haraszthy was most recognized as being the Father of California viticulture, he was also the father of six illustrious children. His third son, Arpad, spent over two years in France learning the craft of sparkling wine and later became the first to introduce Méthode Traditionelle sparkling wine into California winemaking.
Arpad’s sparkling wine, Eclipse, was one of the most celebrated in the nineteenth century, and we pay tribute to his legacy through this Sparkling Rosé of Zinfandel. It is only appropriate that this sparkling wine is made from Zinfandel grapes as Arpad’s first sparkling wine was made from Zinfandel, and Agoston Harazthy has been credited with bringing the first Zinfandel vines to California in 1852. However, this still remains a subject of discussion today.
