Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe Prosecco effect is widespread globally; if folks aren’t busy buying the Italian fizz, they are trying to imitate the style of soft, round, and ready to drink. Mission Hill's first Reserve Brut is tank fermented, charmat method, blending mostly chardonnay with 10 percent pinot noir grown on two estate vineyards in the south Okanagan. Appropriately mellow on entry with an enticing lime/pear aroma that spills across the palate. The acidity is perfectly tuned to keep it all fresh, and at 11 percent alcohol, it is light on its feet. A summer fizz for the patio, think vegan favourites or summer pasta salads.Tasted: 08 April 2020Tasted by: Prices:

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThis inagural Reserve Brut is a charmat method blend of chardonnay and 10 percent pinot noir sourced from two estate vineyards on Oliver's Black Sage Bench and Golden Mile Bench. Soft and pretty, with pear blossom, lime pith, white peach on a softer, lighter (11 degree) palate. The acidity is pretty brisk, mind, keeping the finish snappy and bright. A lovely starter or brunch wine this summer.Tasted: 14 April 2020Tasted by: Prices:
