Reviews and Ratings

L.J. Palmer WSET 3 rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

My wine friend bought this direct from the winery for us to enjoy!Lovely medium pink sparkler, medium sweet, with a pronounced aroma of strawberry and with a touch of cranberry and cherry. Fruit-forward taste of strawberry, cherry and a touch of cranberry in the mouth; plenty of wonderful bubbles. we drank this on the shores of the Rideau River, under a shady tree on a lovely summer afternoon, paired with ketchup chips and fruit tarts. Both were wonderful; the wine and the spicy chips enhanced each other nicely; plain chips did not work at all. The fruit tarts were not quite as sweet as the wine and the softness and creaminess of the tarts complemented the softness and creaminess of the wine; we found that kiwi tarts and strawberry tarts were best.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
