Noble Ridge The One Sparkling Brut 2018

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe One is an Okanagan Falls sparkler grown at the 13.7 hectare Noble Ridge Vineyard. It is roughly a two-thirds/one-third chardonnay (clones 76 and 95) / pinot noir (clones 115 and 777) blend. The fruit is gently whole cluster pressed and aged en tirage for 40+ months. The extra time on lees is the key to this wine’s complexity and inviting creamy brioche notes, but in the end, it is the saline, citrus, green apple, and stony notes that elevate this wine, putting it among some of the best sparklers made in BC. It will also age effortlessly through 2027.Tasted: 22 May 2024Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
