CedarCreek Aspect Collection Home Block Blanc de Noirs 2021

East Kelowna Slopes, Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThe Pinot Noir comes from Block 7 of the Home Vineyard, the coolest section below the winery on the original CedarCreek estate in South Kelowna. The 2020 vintage was a rosé, but to prevent any smoke taint in 2021, they produced a Blanc de Noirs, their second wine made using the traditional method. This vineyard segment was always considered ideal for sparkling wine. The base wine was aged in wood and concrete at the winery until the following April, then tiraged and left on its lees for 36 months. It has bright acidity, balanced by a creamier texture, making it more enjoyable to drink. Slightly reducing the intense acidity enhances the mouthfeel, letting some fruit emerge alongside its complex, stony minerality. Unfortunately, to get the Aspect Collection sparkling wine, you need to join the winery club.Tasted: 04 August 2026Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
