Summerhill Pyramid, Cipes Ariel 2000, East Kelowna, Okanagan Valley

Made of 60% Pinot Noir, 38% Chardonnay, 2% Pinot Meunier, this aged vintage sparkling is showing great maturity. Creamy, zesty, and opulent with a very fulfilling mouthful. It’s fully developed with aromas of biscuits, brioche, Meyer lemon, lees, and toasted hazelnuts. The effervescence is smooth and delicate with bright acidity and a lifting finish. From their certified organic and biodynamic Kelowna estate vineyard, this chardonnay was taken off blocks 10 and 19, naturally fermented in a mix of stainless (75%) and new 500L oak. This creamy chardonnay offers a great balance between volume, texture, and freshness. Ripe orchard fruits, peach skin, spices, and zest are melting together with a mellow palate and pleasant acidity.
