Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaTasted nine months along, and this traditional method fizz from Fitz continues to impress. Pinot noir / chardonnay 53/47 was fermented in neutral oak, and spent 27 months on the lees. Crisp and precise acidity carries this bright, fresh, white cherry, wild strawberry and green apple to a snappy, bright finish. There's just enough generosity to the palate to make this imminantly likeable, and enough tension to keep it very serious. Well done.Tasted: 03 October 2017Tasted by: Prices:

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe Fitzpatrick family's (ex-CedarCreek) are back in the game with anew sparkling wine project run out of the Greata Ranch estate just north of Summerland. In fact, the 2013, is the 2nd vintage to be released from what is looking like an impressive traditional method sparkling wine program, under the watchful eye of talented Kiwi winemaker Sarah Bain, previously of Burn Cottage and Quartz Reef. This is a 53/47 pinot noir/chardonnay cuvee that spent 27 months in the bottle on its lees. Ripe green apple, lemon, light white cherry anchors the wine amid ample minerality and a brisk, linear, taut fizz albeit a slightly fleshier frame than the inaugural (and very shearing) 2012. It is drinking beautifully now, but will continue to hold for five + years. Impressive start. Respect.Tasted: 28 November 2016Tasted by: Prices:
