BLANC DE BLANCS BRUT SPARKLING Traditional method, VQA Niagara Escarpment |
Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
CAVE SPRING |
This recently bottled Vintages Essential has a $5 LTO until January 5 reducing the HST-free price to an amazingly low $24.20. It has a bright medium-light straw colour. The bouquet is very slightly spicy, faintly floral, fresh, ripe, apple-lemon fruit with some gently complex, mineral notes. It is dry, medium bodied, very faintly honeyed and nicely structured with ripe apple-lemon-melon fruit flavours followed up by a crisp, mineral-tinged, fresh, fairly high acid, lingering finish. |

TASTING NOTE: This is a brilliant example of Ontario's prowess with sparkling wine. An elegant traditional-method Chardonnay that delivers great depth of apple, pear and bread tones in a crisp, long package. In 2012, Cave Spring was awarded a Lieutenant Governor's Award for their Blanc de Blancs Brut Sparkling. Perfect for lobster, grilled seafood, or sushi. |
