From the Winery:

Our vineyard site has long produced fine bubbly - hearkening back to the Pioneer Vineyard days with the Dulik family, with some of the original clonal selections chosen for their makeup to produce great sparkling wine.

We are immensely proud to carry on this tradition and in doing so help further the evolution of quality, traditional method sparklings from the Okanagan Valley.

A golden flax in colour, our 100% Chardonnay, Blanc de Blancs carries fine bubbles and persistent textured mousse. Showcasing lively notes of candied lemon peel and oyster shell, pie crust and orange blossom. As it evolves in the glass, aromatic complexities emerge; wet stone and rain water offer depth and interest.

The palate is lean and focused with flinty and citrus tones, tangerine peel and a touch of grapefruit and green apple. Elegant, yet with no shortage of concentration and length. We see this signature release developing beautifully over the next 5 to 7 years.

This traditional method sparkling was crafted from a single block of our Chardonnay plantings, picked on the 3rd of September with pristine acidity. The base wine was fermented in a selection of seasoned puncheons and barrique barrels and aged on fermentation lees until May of 2020. The wine underwent secondary fermentation in bottle and was aged for 22 months on secondary lees. Disgorgement took place in March of 2022 with the addition of a 4 g/L dosage of our 2019 still Chardonnay.
