Natalie's Score: 92/100

Zesty, refreshing and balanced Niagara sparkling wine with crisp notes of green apple and baked bread. Superb quality. Great persistence of beaded bubbles along the sides of the glass as well as the mouse crowning the top. Finishes crisply with green granny smith apple and lime zest notes. Why pay double or tripe for non-vintage champagne when you can have three bottles of this lovely bubbly? Blanc de blanc means that this sparkling wine was made from white grapes only. Pair with fried chicken or potato chips.

Blancs De Blanc food pairings: shellfish, fried foods, Asian fusion dishes, salad.

Reviews and Ratings

The Chardonnay grapes for this vintage-dated Niagara sparkling wine were hand-picked and bunch-selected followed by a gentle whole cluster pressing. The second fermentation took place in the bottle, just as they do in Champagne, and was then followed by 60 months of aging in bottle to add richness, toastiness, complexity to the palate. This bubbly is named in honour of Henry of Pelham's wife Catharine. - Community Wine Reviews
