Lightning Rock Blanc de Blancs Canyonview Vineyard Brut Nature 2018
Summerland Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaOne of three traditional methods single-vineyard fizz released from 2018 (the other two are pinot noir blanc de noirs). Deep yellow in hue, this chardonnay was whole-bunch pressed and native fermented in older puncheons before going in to bottle where it remained 13 months on lees. This was disgorged in Feb / March of 2020, with no dosage. Quite oxidative upfront, with worn fruit abutting the frisky, sharp lemon pith, green apple and racing acidity. The finish is a bit flat/mousey. I will be trying another bottle.Tasted: 02 April 2020Tasted by: Prices:| BC | $30.00 | 750ml | winery direct |
