Claria Calderone rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

This sparkling will leave a dazzle! It's crafted in the traditional method, used to make champagne, and it shows. Its like candy on the palate, it's light but perfectly light. On the palate is like a small bouquet with a very nice and sweet ending. On the nose, the fruity aromas of various flavours is what draws you more in. A perfect summer/patio sparkler, no need for mixing with anything as its perfection on its own.
Craig Kuziemsky rated this wine as 87/100 with the following review:

Lots of bubbles with strawberry and toasted bread aromas and flavors. The palate had a touch of citrus flavor which gave it a nice crisp finish.
Gwen Barton rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Check out the cute new label on this pretty sparkling wine. Classic Pinot noir and Chardonnay blend. Ripe strawberries are prominent with soft floral aroma. Love the long lasting, refreshing bubbles. Not overly sweet despite 22.9g/L residual sugar. Fine to drink now- Very enjoyable!
Heather Wall rated this wine as 87/100 with the following review:

Pale ballerina slipper pink with some larger persistent bubble. Fresh picked field berries, citrus,Niagara tree fruit, biscuit and slight pithy aromas and flavours. Good refreshing acidity and decent length finish.
Tasted: January 2016

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
