Sparkling wine is becoming all the rage in Ontario, and why not, we have a perfect climate for growing the grapes needed for good sparkling wine. This Brut is a 70/30 blend of Pinot Noir to Chardonnay with three years on lees. Palate has plenty of what makes bubbly wines delicious: good acidity along with biscuit, hazelnut, poached pear and almond paste aroma and great creaminess on the palate – the fruit and acidity help the finish with a green apple punch – almost bracingly so.
