Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |

PELLER ESTATES |
This REPEAT was released on December 3, 2022 at $35.95 - here is my previous note with a proxy rating. Bright medium straw colour. Gently sweet, intense, spicy, honeyed, attractive, ripe apple-melon-apricot-plum purée nose. Sweet, medium bodied, spicy, honeyed, bright, fruity, ripe apple-melon flavours with a lingering, gently effervescent finish. This tasty, versatile, crowd-pleaser is best served in a flute which keeps the acidity and fruit front and centre. It has 11.5% alcohol, 23 g/L residual sugar . |

TASTING NOTE: Yellow straw color. Aromas and flavors of shortbread, almond cookie, lemon and orange zest, and daisies with a round, effervescent, dry medium body and a long finish conveying accents of fresh pear, dried apricot, and spring flowers. An approachable and very solid example of Canadian sparkling wine bursting with fruit flavor while maintaining a citrus forward acidity. Exceptional. Score - 92 (tastings.com, April 7, 2023) |
