Black Hills Brut Classical Method Brut NV
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaI was impressed with the first ever sparkling wine from Black Hills, but the second release is better. There is more tension in a much more moderate growing season temperature-wise. The chardonnay reflects it, pitching bright lemon and tangerine with some floral scents in the background, while the pinot noir adds texture and richness and some red fruit. After a 40 month rest on its lees, a creamy, chalky texture seals the deal. Another year in bottle after disgorgement is responsible for the harmony in the glass. The second bottling of the BH Brut is based on 2019 fruit fermented in a combination of stainless steel tanks and neutral oak barrels. The mix is 79/21 chardonnay/pinot noir.Tasted: 15 November 2024Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $50.00 | 750ml | winery direct and private wine shops |
