Product Details
This 'zero dosage' (no sugar added) traditional method sparkling wine spent five years on its lees before being disgorged in January of this year. It's a blend of 57% Pinot Noir and 43% Chardonnay from estate vineyards and spends seven months in 100% French oak, all neutral barriques. I tasted this from an unlabelled bottle. It pours an elegant, persistent mousse and has a complex nose of toasty/brioche, fresh lemon, grapefruit, pear, white flowers, a touch of flint and toasted almonds with subtle autolytic notes. It has energetic bubbles and verve on the palate with zesty citrus, green apple, lemon curd and pear in a rich and elegant style that combines length and mouth-watering acidity through a lifted finish. A fabulous sparkling wine. Score - 93. (Rick VanSickle, winesinniagara.com, April 3, 2023)
