Tasting Notes: Intense aromas of honeyed yellow apple, caramel, toasted nuts and earthy umami. Incredible depth and feeling in every sip with flavours of marmalade, ginger, and key lime pie. Seashell minerality, ultra-creamy mousse, and mouthwatering acidity refresh the palate.
Farm Notes: Estate grown at Summerhill Vineyard in Kelowna, BC. The grapes were picked with a long sur lie bottle aging period envisioned. Situated in the North Okanagan with WNW facing slopes on ancient, limestone-rich lake bottom silt soil, our home vineyard is especially suited to growing grapes for traditional method sparkling wine. This special cuvée is a testament to the outstanding and unique growing conditions of the site.
Maker Notes: 87% Organic Chardonnay, 12% Organic Pinot Noir, 1% Organic Pinot Meunier.
Made in the traditional method. The bottles aged sur lie for at least 18 years before disgorgement began in small batches.
Food Pairing Notes: Pair with complex dishes such as confit chicken, mushroom terrine, and roasted bone marrow—or something as simple as French fries!
