Reviews and Ratings

Monique Sosa - Accredited Sommelier rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

A bubbly for every occassion! Pronounced floral, citrus , apple and apricot notes. This traditional method sparkling is uber crisp, light bodied, has mouthwatering acidity and is very refreshing on the palate. Thank you Tawse for producing such a well-valued quality bubbly. AND!!!! It pairs quite well with pibil chicken tacos.
Jon Steeves - Sommelier rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

The 2013 vintage is crisp with zippy zesty lime and beautiful minerality. Platinum blonde and 12.5% ABV. This sparkling is traditional method and shows vibrant fine bubbles. Featuring Niagara Peninsula Chardonnay and Riesling fused into a great wine to pair with Tex Mex, Fusion Asian dishes or Thai take-out. Enjoy now.
Neil Phillips rated this wine as 87/100 with the following review:

Crisp, lime notes, almost Prosecco-like in its freshness.

Slight bread notes, though really all about the Granny Smith apples.

Pleasing bubbly from Ontario.

Tasted March 2018.
