Loads of frizzante and lime, pepper and toast, this bubbly is mouthfilling, bone-dry and zesty. Great with salty, semi-soft cheeses.

90/100 with the following review:
Vibrant acidity, refreshing crisp mouthfeel, this is an old vine Riesling clone 21B from Kelowna BC. Tart, citrus, slightly pithy aftertaste. Tight fine bubbles. Traditional method vinification yielding a unique sparkling uber dry Riesling. Pair with shellfish, Asian fusion or easily on it's own. @jonsteeves rated 90/100 - tasted May 2016

The pale straw colour, the zesty, lime aroma and the bubbly, grapefruit flavour add up to a flavourful package. This would be great served with a brunch or summertime luncheon.

Talk about vibrant! Incredible concentration of acid, fine and somewhat aggressive mousse, and virtually no dosage ( brut nature). This means they try to add little to know additional sugar to initiate the secondary fermentation phase - giving bubbles. It is a hard technique to master.
Pale straw colour.
Aromas of buckwheat honey, green pear, sour green plum, and granny smith.
Flavours of more sour plum, quince, honey, apple juice, and baked brioche.
Riesling has such incredible acid s and mineral concentration, it wouldn't suprise me if this only got better and better over the next 5-7 years.

Super citrusy, think lemon meringue pie with buttery crust. An abundance of bubbles. Mouthwatering with a long, lemon finish.

Sparkling with aromas of yeast, fresh bread, lemon & peach with flavours of frizzy lemon and green apple. This brut can be enjoyed on it own or paired with softer cheeses and green salads.

Aromas of juicy red apple, pink grapefruit, lime, apricot, honey and hints of white floral. Flavours of apple, lime, pink grapefruit. This zippy brut is great on its own or paired with soft cheeses, strawberries and anything brunch related. Think fruit crepes or even eggs benedict.
