Reviews and Ratings

Sharon Lécuyer rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

Beautiful bouquet of orange and roses. Flavours of strawberry and a bit of rhubarb. Smooth bubbles with well balanced acidity. This one is delightful!

Pair well with soft cheeses and there's enough residual sugar in this one to hold up against spicy takeout. Would be great to toast at your next special occasion.

Jane Staples - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Crafted from hand-picked Sieggerrebe, Ortega and Pinot Meunier varietals, this is an aromatic, light-bodied Rosé showing ripe peach, strawberry, cranberry, blood orange, slight lychee and and minty notes. Delicate and fruity with a persistent mousse. It makes a terrific aperitif or gift wine.

Andrea Shapiro rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

A fragrant, fruity floral, sparkling rose from Nova Scotia’s Lightfoot and Wolfville vineyards. Gentle floral elements, watermelon and honeydew. Flavours are juicy and fresh with white peach, honeydew and hints of honeyed lychee spices. Acidity is vibrant and juicy raspberry sorbet follows through into the finish. A fun sipper on its own or with light with smoked salmon canapes and shrimp. 89 points. - tasted November 2018
Pam Hatton rated this wine as 85/100 with the following review:

Floral , sweet nose that betrays the crisp acidity and more subdued floral notes. Strawberry and apple on the palate. Some residual sweetness. The pale pink sparkler would be nice as a light aperitif matching well with soft cheeses.
