Garnet Valley Ranch Traditional Method Sparkling 2016

Garnet Valley, Summerland Bench, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe first of what will be many releases of sparkling wine from Garnet Valley Ranch makes its debut. It is a traditional method sparkler mixing chardonnay and pinot noir that has spent an impressive 72 months on its lees. It opens with an apple almond nose courtesy of the aforemntioned extended bottle ageing. The palate is mix of creamy brioche streaked with oxidative notes and air-dried apple chips, wild desert sagebrush, all wrapped in citrus. A serious sparkling wine for those who like to contemplate their bubble.Tasted: 05 May 2023Tasted by: Prices:
