This Méthode Classique sparkling wine is a blend of 34.2% Pinot Blanc (Semper Sitiens Vineyard in Lake Country), 33% Riesling (Compact Orchard in Lake Country and Sumac Slope Vineyard in Okanagan Falls) and 32.8% Chardonnay Musque (Villa Vista Vineyard in Kelowna).
Tiny spiraling bubbles rise through a straw-yellow background. Lovely aromas of red apple, citrus and yeast gently escape from the glass. This light-bodied, refreshing wine has a lively yet creamy mousse, and flavours of citrus and apple. Notes of lemon, mineral and yeasty dough linger on the finish.
