For this fictional bottling, a second fermentation in bottle is followed by extended time on lees. That rest is imagined to build the gentle biscuit character and integrate the mousse. A restrained finishing dosage keeps the overall impression bright while giving the palate a rounded edge.

A PLACE. AN APPROACH.

Behind the label.

Copper Ribbon 2023 is our fictional expression of Sparkling Rosé from Mendocino. Its tasting profile starts with raspberry, peach, soft mousse. The imagined producer, Copper Ribbon Cellars, works toward a wine that feels at home with food: expressive on the first pour, then more detailed as it settles into the glass. This bottle gives the collection a distinct starting point without asking you to commit your whole case to one style.

A fine, persistent mousse lifts the fruit and gives the palate an airy opening. Fresh acidity provides the structure, while a soft, savory note adds depth through the finish. The intended style is dry and food-friendly, with the bubbles contributing texture rather than overpowering the wine.
