West Kelowna, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaLast time I tasted this wine, it had around 18 months on lees under its belt. But Jay and Wendy decided to hold a lot back for release in 2023, with 40ish months on lees. I snuck a peak at 31 months on lees, disgorged June 2022 for the International Cool Climate Wine Symposium. This terroir-focused traditional method fizz is gamay from organic, volcanic soiled Beaumont Vineyard in Westbank. Pouring an orange / peach hue, this is tight and nervy with pink grapefruit, red currant, wild strawberry, tangerine, on a dry, raspy, saline-kissed palate. The extra time on lees has given another (beneficial) dimension to this wine, plumping up the lees base. Patience pays off. Drinking very smartly now.Tasted: 26 July 2022Tasted by: Prices:
West Kelowna, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThis terroir-focused traditional method fizz is from organic, volcanic soiled Beaumont Vineyard in Westbank (gamay loves volcanic). This is the final vintage of this wine. Pouring a peach hue, this salty wine streams wild raspberry, wild strawberry along a streamline palate, buzzing with energy and finishing with a red currant kick on the bone dry, white pepper finish. Mouthwatering.Tasted: 02 July 2021Tasted by: Prices:
