Bella Wines Cavada Gamay Rosé Brut 2018
Naramata Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaFrom 20-year-old vines on a steep, west-facing granite and alluvial loam slope above Naramata Village, these gamay vines were dry-farmed and currently in transition to organics. After destemming, basket pressing and a lengthy native ferment, this received a champagne yeast dosage and spent five months on lees before being hand riddled and disgorged with zero dosage. Juicy red fruits, rhubarb, mandarin, strawberry jam, tight, fine spicing fill this joyous and youthful wine. Bone dry and severe style for acid-freaks.Tasted: 26 May 2019Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:BC | $28.00 | 750ml | winery direct |
