According to winemaker Adam Pearce, although non-vintage, the base wine for this sparkler is mainly 2010; the fruit is equal parts Chardonnay and Pinot Noir with a dosage of Cabernet Franc, giving it a nice pink-ish colour. The smell comes off as sweet strawberry while on the palate it’s bright, clean and fresh with nice acidity and a strawberry-lime meringue linger to the finish. There’s even a bit of strawberry pith on the finish with some almost searing acidity to balance what could have been a potential sweet sparkling. Price: $35.00 – Rating: ****+
