CHATEAU DES CHARMES |
Bright pale straw colour. Attractive, faintly toasty, gently complex, ripe lemon-apple meringue nose with some mineral notes. Dry, medium bodied, quite well structured, slightly toasty, ripe lemon-apple meringue flavours with a lingering, very cedary, fairly high acid, mineral-tinged finish. This tasty just-released Vintages Essential is a blend of 50% Pinot Noir and 50% Chardonnay that has 12.5% alcohol and 12 g/L residual sugar. |

A new Vintages Essential - Ontario's sparkling wines have been opening eyes, turning heads, making a splash - no matter how you choose to track it, their trajectory has been impressive. This is from Chardonnay and Pinot Noir and will deliver great balance and freshness with apple, pear and peach tones with underlying fresh bread notes. Perfect for anything from seafood appetizers to popcorn. |
