Probably one of the best bubbles to come out of the cellar doors at Henry of Pelham – it spends five years on lees made from 100% all-estate Chardonnay which has developed a very leesy, smoky, toasty, biscuity essence that surrounds every aspect of this wine, it also maintains great mousse (bubble) with a creaminess in the mouth and flavours of apple puree, pear and lemon on the long luxurious finish. If these guys were located in France they’d be Henri de Pelham and they’d charge three-times the price for this wine – but we’re lucky they are here in Ontario and we get bargain-priced Champagne-like quality at Ontario sparkling prices.
