Sparkling Wine

Blomidon Crémant Style Extra Dry Sparkling, Nova Scotia, Canada: From Nova Scotia, Blomidon traditional method bubble is fragrant with apple, peach, citrus zest, light toast and nutty flavours zesty and lingering on a delicate creamy mousse. Produced from estate-grown Seyval Blanc, L'Acadie Blanc and Chardonnay, grapes were hand-harvested early in the season to retain fruit freshness and acidity. A lovely textured bubble that finishes long and zesty on the palate. Crémant Style Extra Dry Sparkling food pairings: seafood chowder, freshly steamed lobster with drawn butter, roast chicken.
