Produced in the traditional method, from 100% Chardonnay grapes. Extended en tirage aging for 4 years, and disgorged in small batches.

Summerhill’s impressive Blanc de Blanc (white wine from white grapes) fizz has four years of maturing on its lees in bottle, which adds oodles of complexity. Expect aromas of golden apples, hazelnut praline, creamed pears, bread dough and toast. The palate is a perfect mimic of the nose; it is creamy and intricate and is supported by a fine mousse and long tangy finish. It has fantastic balance and style. - Daenna Van Mulligen, Vines Magazine, Spring 2016

 


200 cases produced from 100% Chardonnay, grown at Sekhon Family Vineyards in Osoyoos, BC. In 2010, the Sekhon Family Vineyard was 'in transition' to gaining organic status. This means the vineyard was being managed organically and was being audited by the certifier. The 'transitional' period is three years before you can call the grapes organic officially.
