Oliver, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaBella does bubbles, and that's it. This is one of three traditional method, single vineyard sparkling wines released in 2012. 100 percent gamay sourced from Oliver's highly regarded Secrest Vineyard is a beautiful barely-pink, stainless steel fermented and with no dosage (bone dry!). The result is fresh, crisp and pure fruit. Strawberry, golden Macintosh, delicate peach blossom, tart rhubarb and freshness from first whiff through to a juicy, herbal pink grapefruit finish (with an orange peel twist). Nimble and sharp.Tasted: 26 December 2014Tasted by: Prices:
Oliver, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaOliver's Secrest Mountain Vineyards is home to this gamay sparkler grown over sand, silt and gravel. The fruit is given some four hours skin contact before it is de-stemmed and pressed off. There is no malolactic fermentation to preserve acidity and freshness and the wine is hand-riddled. Tasted from a half-bottle the nose is fresh and packed full of delicate strawberry notes. The attack is bit a rustic with yeasty, earthy red fruit notes but with a softer, gentler more appealing finish. Try this with grilled prawns or fresh chèvre.Tasted: 09 June 2013Tasted by: Prices:
