Magnotta Venture Series Starlight Sparkling Riesling is made in the Charmat method. Fragrant with fresh apple, citrus and yeasty aromas; dry, soft and a medium-weight mousse of apple, pear, leesy and citrusy flavours on the palate. Off-dry with good acidity for food. Chill and enjoy with brunch dishes like a smoked salmon Benny.

Reviews and Ratings

Carolyn Hetke rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

This Riesling Vidal blend is light and lively in the glass. It has a clean, almost sterile nose. The palate is peachy with ginger notes and a very fine mousse. Perfect for brunches or picnics. Tasted June 2019. www.thewineloverskitchen.com

Daniel O'Keefe rated this wine as 87/100 with the following review:

Charmat method sparkling crafted from a blend of Riesling and Vidal. Plenty of apple, pear, and peach with subtle floral and citrus notes. Offdry with good acidity. A balanced bubbly, though the finish is on the short side. Lovely packaging, this is surefire attention-capturing packaging. Serve with appetizers at birthdays, anniversaries, New Years, or any event to celebrate.

Produced in the Charmat or tank method, a bright and cheerful little non-vintage sparkler from Magnotta Venture, Series Starlight. Pretty florals on the nose with honey, peach and elderflower aromas, a medium-bodied gentle mousse with ripe apple and honeyed citrus flavours. Easy to enjoy. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of all Venture Series wines helps support the initial foundation work at the G. Magnotta Lyme Disease Research Lab at the University of Guelph. - Community Wine Reviews
