Tantalus Blanc de Noir 2022

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaPouring a barely there pink/orange tint, this brisk, dry, and structured sparkler streams wild cherry, creamy raspberry, and crab apple, giving it both depth and freshness. It has proven to be very food friendly over the years, and this addition will be no different. The Blanc de Noirs is produced from a single block of pinot noir clone 93 vines, planted in 1985, and is now blended with a small amount of estate meunier. It is fermented in neutral oak puncheons for 7 months before undergoing an additional 22 months of ageing. It was disgorged in February 2025 with a dosage from their 2022 Maija Pinot Noir. It is the real thing.Tasted: 18 April 2025Tasted by: Prices:
