13th Street Premier Cuvee

Last night, prior to dinner, a friend and I enjoyed some 13th Street Premier Cuvée Sparkling Wine. This was a remarkable sparkling wine blend of 2/3 Pinot Noir and 1/3 Chardonnay.  It was very bright with tastes of green apple, citrus and herbs.  The high level of carbon dioxide created a high level of bubbles that persisted through the finish.  This would be an excellent choice to serve at any special celebratory event and could hold its own with any champagne.  It is recommended that this wine be stored for 2-3 years to achieve its full potential.  A great demonstration of the talents of Ontario wine makers.
