Ultramarine’s Heintz Vineyard Sparkling Rosé is made from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grown on a cool, fog-laced site just a few miles from the Pacific. The wine is fermented in neutral oak, undergoes secondary fermentation in bottle, and is aged on the lees under cork, with minimal dosage—a labor-intensive, grower-style approach that yields exceptional detail and longevity.
The 2020 vintage shows a beautiful balance of rose petal, wild strawberry, blood orange, and crushed chalk, with savory undertones and a creamy yet taut texture. The mousse is fine, the acidity vivid, and the finish long and salty. It’s a rosé for serious sparkling lovers—gastronomic, nuanced, and built to evolve.
Perfect with oysters, roast duck, or absolutely nothing at all—this wine deserves the spotlight. If you’re lucky enough to get a bottle, treat it like the treasure it is.
