Copper Cane Wine & Spirits proudly introduces two new additions to its Belle Glos collection: Sparkling Blanc de Blanc and Sparkling Rosé. Crafted by fifth-generation winemaker Joe Wagner, these sparkling wines represent a bold expansion into the world of traditional method sparkling wines. The release marks a pivotal moment for Belle Glos, a brand known for its meticulous craftsmanship, as it explores the refined, celebratory nature of sparkling varietals.
Zero Dosage Sparkling Wines Reflect Terroir, Tradition, and Russian River Valley Purity
Rooted in the Russian River Valley’s unique microclimate, these wines are made in a zero-dosage style—meaning no added sugar after fermentation. This style highlights the vineyard’s terroir and natural acidity without relying on sweetness to balance the profile. Through traditional methods, including aging in French oak barrels, malolactic fermentation, and multi-vintage blending, Wagner crafts wines that exhibit purity, depth, and complexity, while maintaining a youthful brightness and firm minerality.
Belle Glos Debuts Sparkling Blanc de Blanc and Rosé, Showcasing Russian River EleganceJoe Wagner’s extensive study of Champagne-making traditions has culminated in these two authentic expressions of sparkling wine. The Blanc de Blanc is crafted entirely from Chardonnay, while the Rosé is made exclusively from Pinot Noir—two classic varietals that flourish in the Russian River Valley. Wagner aimed to reflect the raw beauty and vibrant character of the region, creating sparkling wines that are both elegant and expressive, while staying true to their origins.
Vibrant Aromas, Elegant Flavors, and Perfect Pairings Define These Sparkling Wine Releases
The Belle Glos Sparkling Blanc de Blanc is light gold with notes of honeysuckle, pear, green apple, and brioche. On the palate, it delivers bright flavors of lemon, almond pastry, and crisp fruit, finishing clean and elegant. Wagner recommends pairing it with seared scallops, oysters, truffle popcorn, fried chicken, or caviar to enhance its refreshing profile.
The Belle Glos Sparkling Rosé, with its stunning salmon hue, presents aromas of wild strawberries, citrus blossoms, and rose petals. The flavor profile includes cherry, apricot, raspberry, and orange zest, pairing beautifully with smoked salmon, spicy tuna rolls, berry salad, or goat cheese. True to the Belle Glos brand, both bottles are hand-dipped in wax and adorned with a feather motif, symbolizing the delicacy of the wines and adding a visually striking, recognizable presentation.
