Tantalus Blanc de Noir 2021

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaA single block of 1985 Clone 93 pinot noir is the source of this Blanc de Noirs, which is ready to celebrate. The glass has a light copper colour, highlighted by a persistent bead of fine bubbles, creamy textures, and pastry notes. Red fruits and citrus pith keep the freshness moving from the front to the back of the glass. Technically, the base wine spends seven months on its fermentation lees in barrel before going en tirage to secondary fermentation in a bottle, and a 22 month rest. It was disgorged in February 2024 with a small amount of wine from the 2022 Maija Pinot Noir.Tasted: 24 April 2024Tasted by: Prices:
