Peller Estates NV Ice Cuvee Rosé
Back in December, I made mention of the rise of sparkling wine making in Ontario (Newsletter #72) … well not to be outdone, Peller has re-invented their flagship sparkler. For years, they have made the unique sparkling Ice Cuvee – a bubbly that replaces the still wine dosage with ice wine. But over the past few years, the wine has been losing its luster – someone told me it was because Peller reduced the amount of icewine they used in the dosage. Well this rosé has goosed the tired old Ice Cu...

Chateau des Charmes Methode Traditionelle Brut
Coming to Vintages again, but always available at the winery, this sparkler really is quite a treat. The taste is biting and bracing with its fizzy citrus qualities and tastes - a hint of carmelized lemon rind appears in the mouth but the finish is crisp, lemon clean.

It has all the prerequisites of a good, quality sparkler: toasty apple and lemon, bready yeastiness on the nose, pleasant, lively and persistent bubbles and a refreshing taste. Another great example of a Niagara bub...

Magnotta Limited Edition Sparkling Vidal Icewine
There are only a handful of these out there (sparkling icewines), in fact, I can only think of one other producer off the top of my head, but Magnotta was the first to try the combination of putting bubbles into an icewine (and not vice versa). This sparkling Vidal is an interesting mix of sweet, refreshing and light. Icewine, by its very nature is sweet and this one is no different with apricots, apples and honey (both on the nose and taste) – some find icewine to be thick and heavy with all ...
