This is a classic Brut, with aromas and flavors of pear and dried apricot with hints of crème brulee and apple. It has nice complexity from the sur lies aging in the Methode Champenoise, and has a refreshing crispness and lingering vanilla cream aftertaste that pairs exceptionally well with food.
Founded in 1883, the Wente family has a long history of crafting estate-grown wines that express the character of the Livermore Valley. Our Legacy Series Brut Reserve continues this tradition, produced from select vineyard blocks chosen for their exceptional fruit quality in a standout harvest. Extended aging on the lees contributes depth, refinement, and a beautifully integrated mousse. The result is a sparkling wine of precision, freshness, and layered complexity that reflects the Wente family's enduring commitment to crafting wines of elegance and distinction.
Cresta Blanca is a celebration of California’s winemaking breakthrough—bold, unexpected, and world-class. Founded in 1882, it was the first to show the world what California was capable of, winning the Grand Prix in Paris and helping shape a new frontier in wine. Today, that spirit lives on. These wines honor where we began, but they’re made for where we’re going—driven by curiosity, crafted with care, and full of discovery. Grand Beginnings. Endless Possibilities.
