Martha Kelly AIWS rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Aromatic and refreshing this little sparkler has flavours of lemon-lime, green apple, slight raspberry, grapes, with a touch of biscuit complexity.
The flavours linger on the creamy, mouth-watering, elegant finish.
Pair with kettle chips, spicy shrimp, or cream cheeses. Enjoy with a friend!
Drink now or keep through 2016.
Date tasted: November 2014.




Natalie's Review

Tawse Winery Inc. Spark Brut 2012, Twenty Mile Bench, Niagara Peninsula, Ontario VQA, Canada: This Ontario bubbly is made from a blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Gris grapes. Good acidity and toastiness on the nose and palate. This half bottle is a nice way to start a meal with a toast. Drink: 2014-2016. 404558 12% XD 375 mL  $14.95 Score: 86/100.

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.
