"Crafted from 100% Pinot Noir, this delicate and rich bubbly is bursting with aromas and flavors of wild strawberry. Easy acidity on the finish makes this a favorite for parties and holiday ham or turkey."

“Of all the categories of sparkling wines, I favor Rosés over all others. The Gruet Rosé is attractive from start to finish. TASTING NOTES: This wine charms the palate with tantalizing ripe strawberries and accents of earth. Enjoy it with lightly-spiced, grilled salmon. (Tasted: January 25, 2021, San Francisco, CA)”

“Bright pink color with juicy strawberry nose; dense and fresh with good balance and style. 100% Pinot Noir at 12% ABV.”

The Brut Rosé is 100% Pinot Noir, 2% of which is still. This dry sparkling wine has floral aromatics and a zesty fresh strawberry and cherry flavor.

"This nearly garnet Rose, like all their non-vintage sparkling wines, is aged 24 months entirage. It has a lovely, bright floral bouquet with hints of strawberry, raspberry, and cherry. On the palate, it is rich and fruity in a dry, Brut style. The flavor of berries continues on the palate, revealing more strawberry, raspberry, cherry. This sparkler is lots of fun and very festive, but production is limited to 5000 cases per year, so don't miss out." ~Winery Notes

About the Winery
Gilbert Gruet must have sounded a little crazy when he decided to put down roots in New Mexico with the goal of making excellent méthode champenoise sparkling wines like those he crafted in Champagne. Now, 30 years since the Gruet family first planted an experimental vineyard near the town of Truth or Consequences, Gruet has become a classic that places well above its peers both in terms of quality and value for sparkling wines.


Gilbert Gruet started making Champagne in 1952 in his hometown of Bethon, France. It was during a family trip to the southwestern United States that the Gruet family met a group of European winemakers who had successfully planted vineyards in New Mexico. The following year, Gilbert’s children, Laurent and Nathalie, moved to New Mexico to start a new journey for this Champagne family. 1987 was the first vintage, and after aging the wines en tirage for the required two years, Gruet put New Mexico on the wine map with its first release in 1989.


The Gruet vineyards reach 4300 feet in elevation, making them some of the highest in the United States. While daytime temperatures are quite warm, night can bring drops of up to 30 degrees, cooling down the grapes and slowing maturation. Gruet grows in sand and loam soils in an area that lacks humidity. This decreases disease pressure, allowing grapes to be grown without the use of pesticides.
