Blue Mountain Gold Label Brut NV

Okanagan Falls, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaA long time BC benchmark for bubble, there are many new producers snapping at Blue Mountain’s heels and in particular, its Brut market. Expect a vibrant sparkler with leesy/brioche notes mixed with green apple and nutty citrus aromas that precede its dry, earthy, green apple, lemon/honey flavours. A classy, dry, cool-style sparkler that’s fresh and mineral driven. The latest mix is 56/39/5 pinot noir, chardonnay and pinot gris re-fermented in the bottle. It spends two years on the lees before it is disgorged (March 2013) and kept another six to nine months before release.
