When you think sparkling wine, think Royal Cuvée. This is the wine that everyone’s talking about, the one passed down through generations and served at the grandest tables. So good, in fact, that the King and Queen of Spain were first served this wine in 1987. That was just the beginning, and today, Gloria Ferrer continues to define the best of sparkling wine from Carneros, offering a richness and depth that could only be described as fit for royalty.

Made from a perfect blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, this Brut sparkler was aged for six years, allowing it to develop bold, complex flavors while keeping its fresh fruit vibrancy. The result? A champagne that evolves with every sip—layered, sophisticated, and bursting with personality. No wonder it’s been a favorite for celebrations since day one.

Carneros is where the magic happens. Nestled between the Pacific Ocean and San Francisco Bay, this region enjoys a consistent breeze and perfect temperatures. The Ferrer family, with deep Spanish winemaking roots, saw the potential here early on. In the 1980s, José Ferrer and his wife Gloria moved from Barcelona to Sonoma, believing in the Carneros region’s ability to produce exceptional sparkling wine. They were right. Today, their estate spans across two distinct ranches—Home Ranch and Circle Bar—each with its own unique soils and elevations.

What sets Gloria Ferrer apart? It’s all about balance. This wine is crafted with respect for the land, the vines, and the people who tend them. Sustainability has always been a priority, with the winery embracing the Code of Sustainable Winegrowing Practices, earning certification in 2016. It’s a wine that’s not only kind to the earth but also a treat for your palate.
