Blue Mountain Brut Rosé R.D. Méthode Traditionelle 2019
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaSomething about cooler years in the South Okanagan tends to light up its wines. In 2019, the Blue Mountain Brut Rosé has a freshness that is lighting up this classy pink sparkler. The R.D., or Recently Disgorged, wine spent 30 months on its lees inside the bottle, building enticing toasty autolytic notes that add a complex side to the citrus, strawberry, mid-palate. Even the barely there pale eye of the partridge colour fits the style of this wine. The dosage is no match for the overall acidity, leaving the wine Brut dry through the finish. This wine would scare a lot of people in Champagne.Tasted: 11 October 2023Tasted by: Prices:

Blue Mountain Brut Rosé R.D. Méthode Traditionelle 2019
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaYear after year, the Brut Rosé is a personal favourite in the Blue Mountain portfolio, and the 2019 may be my favourite vintage yet. It's always very moreish in style, but the cooler 2019 vintage has yielded an elegance and class that elevates this to another level. Pale salmon in colour, this shows stylish, crisp strawberry and red apple framed by a toasty autolytic character from 30 months on lees. Although this has a higher dosage than other Blue Mountain sparkling wines, it's beautifully balanced in a dry, Brut style that finishes long and chalky. Exceptional value.Tasted: 27 October 2023Tasted by: Prices:
