PELLER ESTATES |
| Extremely pale dayglo salmon pink colour. Fairly intense, gently sweet, slightly spicy, honeyed, plummy, ripe strawberry nose. Gently sweet, medium to medium-light bodied, harmonious, bright, ripe strawberry-apple puree flavours with some tangy notes on the lingering, fairly crisp, gently effervescent finish. Ready-to-drink. This blend includes 10% Cabernet Franc and a dosage of Cabernet Franc and Vidal icewine with 12% alcohol and now 25 g/L residual sugar. A REPEAT that last appeared in Vintages (***) on May 26, 2018 at $35.75 and was an Explorer Selection. |

| TASTING NOTE: A lovely salmon pink, this versatile sparkler combines Chardonnay and Pinot Noir as the base wine with a dash of icewine. It displays sweet, almost honeyed, red berry fruit on the nose. Just off-dry due to dosage with Cabernet Franc and Vidal icewine, it has a fine, light mousse and replays the lively berry flavours on the palate - think of sun-kissed, field-ripe strawberries and juicy, ripe currant. It's refreshing with a hint of sweetness that lingers on the finish. This is bound to be a crowd-pleaser. Score - 93 (Susan Desjardins, winecurrent.com, May 21, 2018) |
