Cricket Farms Lake County Rose Sparkling Wine

Cricket Farms crafts this Lake County sparkling rosé with an eye toward freshness and elegance, drawing on the region’s naturally high-altitude vineyards where warm days and cool nights shape fruit with vivid aromatics and crisp structure. Pinot Noir and Chardonnay are harvested early to preserve acidity, pressed gently, and fermented at cool temperatures before undergoing a meticulous secondary fermentation to build a fine, persistent mousse.
In the glass, the wine shows a shimmering pale rose hue and an inviting mix of strawberry, watermelon rind, and blood orange. Lake County’s volcanic soils lend a subtle mineral line beneath the fruit, giving the wine its signature lift and clarity.
The palate is energetic and expressive—vibrant red berries meet citrus zest, carried by sleek bubbles and a dry, refreshing finish. It’s playful but polished, the sort of sparkling rosé that transitions effortlessly from aperitif to dinner table.

Nose: Strawberry, raspberry, and citrus blossom with hints of watermelon and mineral spice.

Palate: Crisp red berries and mandarin peel balanced by lively acidity and fine, smooth bubbles.

Finish: Bright and clean with lingering berry notes and a gentle volcanic mineral edge.

Perfect with shrimp ceviche, sushi, soft cheeses, or fried chicken—the wine’s crisp profile and delicate fruit bring vibrancy to salty, tangy, or spicy dishes and create a refreshing counterpoint to rich textures.
