LOT 74 SPARKLING BRUT 2016 Charmat method, VQA Ontario |
Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
PONDVIEW) |
Medium light straw colour with very modest effervescence which totally disappears. Gently spicy, fairly attractive, floral, ripe, melon apple purée nose. Dry, medium-light bodied, spicy, faintly honeyed, ripe, apple-melon purée flavours with a crisp unoaked finish. Ready-to-drink. Unfortunately, this 100% Vidal crowd-pleaser which is made in the cost-effective Charmat method is a tad pricey. Has 12% alcohol and 6 g/L residual sugar with lot number 2508.B1 on the lower part of the glass bottle. |

TASTING NOTE: This 100% Vidal is crafted using the Charmat method: the second fermentation takes place in a tank rather than, as with Champagne, within individual bottles. This wine is floral and tropical with banana, peach, melon, apple, lime, lees and a touch of grass. Crisp, refreshing and balanced. Quite a delightful wine, and perfect for spicing up casual mid-week fare. (Vintages panel, March 2018) |
