Our goal was to explore the effects of extended maturation in bulk (rather than in bottle), as well as the impact of blending multiple vintages on the base for our sparkling wine library. Small volumes of base wine were produced from each harvest between 2016 and 2024, aged individually in neutral French oak, and only minimally topped and tasted over time. The final blend undergoes secondary fermentation in tank, using the Cuvée Close (Charmat) method, to produce its fine bubbles.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e86% Chardonnay, 14% Pinot Noir.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAlcohol:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 12.0\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e%\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eResidual Sugar:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 5.5 g\/L\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTA:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 6.0\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e g\/L\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003epH:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e3.4\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLabel art by Andrea Smith.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e⭐️Tasting notes by Leah Spooner (Leah’s Favorite)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGeographical Indication:\u003c\/strong\u003e Niagara (Ontario)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVarietal:\u003c\/strong\u003e 61% Chardonnay; 24% Cabernet Sauvignon; 15% Cabernet Franc\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAlcohol:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12.5% ABV\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eResidual Sugar:\u003c\/strong\u003e 11.4 g\/L (Brut Sur Nature)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStyle Snapshot: \u003c\/strong\u003eA savoury, cool-climate sparkling wine crafted using the solera method — layered, creamy, and mineral with delicate mousse.
