Westcott Vineyards Brilliant Traditional Sparkling 2020

A gorgeous assemblage from a terrific vintage made up of 45% Pinot Noir, 45% Chardonnay and 10% Pinot Meunier from the Vinemount Ridge sub-appellation. The traditional method sparkling sees 42 months of lees aging that contributes to the exceptional textural depth of the palate. A delectable chalky mouthfeel, with notes of lemon zest, grapefruit, and gala apple encased in minerality and energetic acidity. Flavours of toast and almond complement an endless stream of spirited bubbles through a long finish. A wonderful, terroir-inspired work of art by winemaker Casey Kulczyk. 96 points
