​Iron Horse 2020 Wedding Cuvée is a sparkling wine that captivates with its delicate blush hue, lively bubbles, and silky mousse. On the nose, it offers vibrant aromas of raspberry, subtle hints of strawberry, and a touch of citrus zest. The palate reveals bright red fruit flavors at the forefront, seamlessly transitioning to the mid-palate, followed by notes of red apple and a creamy richness, culminating in a textured grapefruit finish. ​This cuvée is Iron Horse's interpretation of a Blanc de Noirs, blending expressive, fruit-forward Pinot Noir lots with a touch of Chardonnay to add a firm acid backbone.


The Pinot Noir is hand-harvested in the early morning and gently pressed as whole clusters. ​Renowned wine critics have lauded this cuvée, with Wine Spectator awarding it 93 points, describing it as "succulent and seductive, with festive raspberry and lemon crème brûlée flavors accented by fresh gingerbread and spice notes." The 2020 Wedding Cuvée is an ideal choice for special occasions, offering a sophisticated and memorable sparkling wine experience. ​
