Bella Sparkling Rosé Westbank Gamay Reserve 2013
West Kelowna, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaOnly thirty cases were released of this Reserve Gamay fizz, a traditional method sparkling that spent three years on the lees. Sourced from the volcanic soils of Beaumont Winery in Westbank, this was destemmed and pressed, sulphured only once after the first ferment three years ago, and with zero dosage. Tight, focused and salty, with fine and direct form coloured with light wild strawberries and delicate cherry notes. A severe style, tempered only slightly by a light sheen of lees. This is an ongoing progression of style, grape and terroir from BC's sparkling specialist.Tasted: 28 November 2016Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:BC | $40.00 | 750ml | winery direct |
