Sparkling wine & cider hybrid with Vidal, Chardonnay Musque & Golden Russet.

Over the last half century, Niagara’s fruit orchards have slowly been replaced with vineyards. This sparkling beverage is an homage to our agricultural past with a gentle nod to the future of fermentation! Born in Niagara. Raised in Hamilton.

Created in collaboration with Steve Byfield, Nyarai Cellars.

750ml (thx, Matt!) @ Ryan's. Appearance: pale golden with a weak white head. Aroma: smells like a white wine with funk and some cider notes. Taste: super bubbly, this is just sparkling white wine. Overall: super weird.

Poured from 750mL bottle. Clear pale gold with dissipating white head. Chardonnay dominant with apple skin and a bit of carbonation. Quite nice.

750mL bottle, pours a clear pale golden with a large white head. Aroma brings out lots of Chardonnay, crisp apple skins, and some funkiness — that Chardonnay really dominates. Flavour is dominated by the Chardonnay upfront, with crisp skins, alcohol, and some funk. Love that Chardonnay precedence. The carbonation is high but totally fitting. Lovely.
