Natalie's Score: 92/100

A toasty blend of 50/50 Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes from a solid Niagara producer. The wine undergoes the traditional Champagne method of the second fermentation in the bottle with no dosage so it's extra dry and crisp. Enjoy on its own or with shellfish.

Sparkling White food pairings: Fresh steamed shellfish, seafood tapas, smoked whitefish.

Reviews and Ratings

Matt Steeves - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

A beautiful traditional method sparking wine produced in a zero dosage style, making it extra crisp and refreshing - exactly what I and so many love in premium traditional method sparking wines. Benefitting from 48 months lees aging, with no oak influence, thereby preserving the natural fruit characteristics, with the added complexity four years of aging on the lees contributes. Crisp golden apple, biscuit, nutty notes, and a hint of honey on the nose and palate. Great structure with mouthwatering freshness making it a sparking wine that will age beautifully over the next decade and beyond, and a terrific choice to enjoy this holiday season with a wide range of dishes from rich creamy chowder or pasta, lobster with butter, or creamy cheeses. 13th Street Winery's Premier Cuvée 2013 is a spectacular example of the fine sparkling wine their winemaker produces each and every year. Tasted November 2019. 92+ points. Matt Steeves - www.quercusvino.ca

Jenny Ratcliffe-Wright CWM rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

A delicious Champagne-style bubble from Niagara producer. Traditional Champagne varieties of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay make up the blend. The wine is left on its lees (yeast cells) for a minimum of 48 months before it is bottled. This leaves a delicate bubbly that is full of lemon zest and citrus. Hints of lemon curd on toast, with white nuts on the finish. Try it with fresh oysters with hollandaise, lightly warmed under the grill. @wrightwineblog

A traditional method toasty blend of 50/50 Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grapes from a solid Niagara producer aged 48 months on its lees. Look for ripe apple and pear, citrus zest, baked pastry flavours on a fine mousse. Finishes zesty with a lingering minerality. - Community Wine Reviews
