Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |

PELLER ESTATES |
This Vintages Essential repeat was not tasted. Here is my previous tasting note with a proxy rating. It has a medium straw colour with a very faint hint of pink along with an abundance of bubbles. Spicy, gently honeyed, fruity, ripe raspberry-strawberry nose with some faint minerally notes. Gently sweet, medium to medium-light bodied, harmonious, bright, fresh, ripe raspberry-strawberry-apple puree flavours with some tangy notes on the lingering, fairly crisp, gently effervescent finish. Ready-to-drink. It has 12% alcohol and 21 g/L residual sugar. |

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. Drink or cellar. Score - 93 (Susan Desjardins, winecurrent.com, Jan. 19, 2022) |
