JoieFarm Plein de Vie Brut 2023
Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThis charmat sparkling rosé blends 56% Chardonnay and 44% Pinot Noir, sourced from Oliver's Secrest Mountain Vineyard, and Skaha Bluffs' Con Vida Vineyard. After a stainless ferment, this moved to neutral puncheons for 3 months of texture building, followed by a stint in the Charmat tank for the second ferment. Pouring a vivid salmon hue, this slight (11%) fizz skips lightly across the palate, with watermelon, tart rhubarb, and tangerine, propelled with soft, barely-there mousse, and finishing with a bitter orange / milk chocolate note. Tasting a little tired, this is best taken now, well chilled or as part of a sparkling cocktail.Tasted: 08 November 2025Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| BC | $32.96 | 750ml | winery direct/online |
