Lightning Rock Blanc de Noirs Canyonview Vineyard 2018
Summerland Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe spark behind Lightning Rock comes from owner winemakers Jordan Kubek and Tyler Knight, who have been making wine in Summerland since 2011. This Blanc de Noirs comes off Canyonview Vineyard, first planted in 2003 at the on the face of Trout Creek Canyon. The grapes are whole bunch pressed, native fermented in large old puncheons before resting on lees in bottle for 13 months. It was disgorged with zero dosage. This is bright, energized, zesty, and stuffed full of grapefruit, green apples, wild red fruits and sea salt. Seriously fun, it has a softish edge that makes drinking it easy. It’s bone dry and ready for any food you can think of snacking with for the rest of the day. Well done, and a testament to the future of sparkling wine in BC.Tasted: 02 April 2020Tasted by: Prices:
