Bottlerocket Spritz NV

Charles Bieler has been crafting award-winning, high-quality wines at a great price for the last 30 years. Charles is a well-known winemaker, innovator, and continues to prove his eye for creative opportunity. He is best known for helping pioneer the Ros movement in the U.S. back in the 1990s. In addition, he is known for introducing a more sustainable way to package wine through tetra-packs, helping kickstart the wine-on-tap in restaurants trend, and a co-founder to Sombra, a Mezcal brand created long before its time. His latest innovation puts a modern, unique twist on his famous Ros winemaking technique.

Introducing Bottlerocket Spritz, a euphorically delicious and absurdly satisfying blend of Ros, botanicals, blood orange, and sativa terpenes.

Crafted with Ros that is sourced from dedicated, cool climate Ros vineyards in Columbia Valley, Washington. The vineyards are at 1,100 feet elevation, which ensures gentle ripening and allows complex flavor development and natural acidity without much alcohol. The dynamic fruit and natural acidity helps with the long-term integrity of the wine. A proprietary mix of botanicals and blood orange citrus is added to the mix. The primary botanical is Gentian root, which is the principle bitter in Campari and Aperol. The bitters counterbalance the red fruit and the bitterness is like red wine tannins.

Sativa terpenes harvested from fruits and vegetables (not hemp or cannabis) that include Beta caryophyllene, linalool, D-limonene create a gentle euphoric lift and mood boost to the experience. Just as mezcal and high-quality agave spirits give a slight lift to your buzz due to naturally occurring terpenes in agave, Bottlerocket delivers a similar alert and happy feeling. These terpenes also have a citrusy herbal flavor bringing a complexity and savory note to the blend.

Tasting Notes: "Bottlerocket is just 9% alc by vol and carbonated to a Prosecco level. As we use real fruit and botanicals and arent filtering or using preservatives beyond (just minimal S02) to ensure the most distinct full flavors, please expect a hazy hue. Fresh, bright, playful flavors of blood orange and grapefruit. The wine dances on your palate!"
