Gaspereau Valley, Nova Scotia, CanadaThe 2009 Brut is a serious traditional method sparkler, made from decidedly untraditional grapes: l'acadie, chardonnay and seyval. Hints of honey, citrus and mineral on the nose lead to a crisp and vibrant citrus and mineral-driven palate. Bone dry and shimmering with concentrated lime and grapefruit zest, stony minerality and a well-earned patina of lees and biscuit before melting into a lengthy finish. This wine has spent 3 years on the lees and was disgorged last August. We're talking benchmark Canadian bubble here, an ultra-premium one, and yes - from Nova Scotia. Drinking fantastically now, but will continue to gain complexity in the years to come.Tasted: 03 December 2015Tasted by: Prices:
Gaspereau Valley, Nova Scotia, CanadaLots of fine white mousse. Toasty, nutty, baked green apple, pear, and light floral, honey and muscat aromas. Fresh, juicy, creamy, big mousse entry with baked green apple, lime, pear, nutty, bitter almond, grassy flavours. Good intensity and balance if on the austere side which has its appeal to a small but discerning group of sparkling wine lovers. The latest '09 Brut is a unique Nova Scotian blend of L'Acadie, chardonnay and seyval. We love the overall delicacy. Well done.Tasted: 12 August 2014Tasted by: Prices:
