Seven Stars Aurora Stoneridge Vineyard 2019
Okanagan Falls, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaWinemaker Mary McDermott is the force behind a highly successful sparkling wine program at Township Seven, now known as Seven Stars. Aurora is clone 15 pinot noir, aged for over 30 months on its lees, and it is a delight to nose and drink. Made in the classic Méthode Traditionelle, Aurora exhibits a touch of bronze in the glass with fresh white peach, baked apple, and a whiff of wet stone. More subtle than elegant, it pushes forward with bright red fruits and tart acidity that runs through the finishes, cleaning the palate on the way. This is just a baby but what a fine start. You must join the club to get this, but it will be worth it. The fruit comes off Stoneridge Vineyard, a southwest facing hillside overlooking the meandering Okanagan River near Vaseaux Lake in Okanagan Falls. The winery suggests you pair it with Pacific scallops with a strawberry relish, or peach prosciutto and mascarpone canapé. We loved it with baked salmon.Tasted: 21 April 2023Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $57.97 | 750ml | wine club member exclusive |
