Coinciding with its 25th Anniversary Celebration, J Vineyards & Winery has introduced a non-vintage Brut Rose sparkling wine in a sleek, sexy new clear bottle. The bottle features a distinctive black version of its iconic brushstroke J logo.
"After a quarter century of crafting luxury wines, we still love introducing new wines and new packaging," said Judy Jordan, Founder and President of J Vineyards & Winery. "The eye-popping, rich, pink salmon hue of this pinot noir-based sparkling wine is now on full display for all to see. It’s a real treat."
Although limited in production, the J Brut Rose can be found on many fine dining wine lists and independent retail stores throughout the country. To find a retail store near you, or to purchase the wine directly, go to www.jwine.com.
