Natalie's Score: 91/100

This vibrant Niagara sparkling wine was aged for three years on the lees for extra richness and mouth-filling texture. It's a blend of Chardonnay (58%) and Pinot Noir (42%) grapes grown on the St. David’s Bench Vineyard. Aromas of green apple and freshly baked bread. Enjoy as an aperitif or with shellfish.

Sparkling Brut food pairings: devilled eggs, basil vinaigrette salad.

Reviews and Ratings

Jennifer Havers - WSET Level 3 rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

Ontario makes amazing sparkling wine - tell everyone!! This wine is made in the traditional method and a blend of 58% Chardonnay and 42% Pinot Noir and aged on lees for 26 months. Aromas of lemon, green apple, and crusty bread. Dry and crisp, with a vibrant, bright acidity, tart and fresh citrus and yeasty bread hints. Great balance, and a slight creaminess n the palate. Perfect to enjoy with oysters or any white fish with a lemony caper sauce.

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.

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.
