Melanie Lloyd rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

A dry bubbly made from 100% organically certified grapes, 70% Chardonnay and 30% Pinot Noir. It is produced using the traditional method and spent 47 months on its lees.
Aromas of baked apple, rich buttery pastry, and hints of almond. It is opulent, creamy, yet crisp on the palate with baked apple flavours, lemon and a nutty finish. An affordable alternative to Champagne.

Tasted at the Taste Ontario event in April 2019.

Wine-Food Pairing: Pair with sushi, fried appetizers, Asian food, or fried chicken.
