Estate grown at Summerhill Vineyard in Kelowna, BC. The grapes were picked with a long sur lie bottle aging period envisioned. Situated in the North Okanagan with WNW facing slopes on ancient, limestone-rich lake bottom silt soil, our home vineyard is especially suited to growing grapes for traditional method sparkling wine. This special cuvée is a testament to the outstanding and unique growing conditions of the site. Made in the traditional method. The bottles aged sur lie for 17 years before disgorgement began in small batches. Intense aromas of honeyed yellow apple, caramel, toasted nuts and earthy umami. Incredible depth and feeling in every sip with flavours of marmalade, ginger, and key lime pie. Seashell minerality, ultra-creamy mousse, and mouthwatering acidity refresh the palate.

89 | Deep colour - almost gold. Perhaps a little too old? Powerful honey, cling peach, biscuit, toast but lacks zip and drive. A curio rather than truly enjoyable

97 | Deep gold hue. Baked quince aromas. Hints of crème Catalana, caramelised apple, ginger spice and ripe pear. Though encasing all the unctuous sweet fruit is a savoury frame with toasted oat and bread crust tones. The palate really is an absolute feast for the senses. The palate is laden with sweet, rich fruit. It is like dessert in a glass.

88 | Deep Yellow, buttercup yellow; dried apricot, barley sugar, very old-wine nose. Still pleasant to drink but surely past its best.

87 | nope, seen better days, I'm sure it was lovely a decade ago.
