Matt’s review:

A beautiful traditional method sparking wine produced in a zero dosage style, making it extra crisp and refreshing – exactly what I and so many love in premium traditional method sparking wines. Benefitting from 48 months lees aging, with no oak influence, thereby preserving the natural fruit characteristics, with the added complexity four years of aging on the lees contributes. Crisp golden apple, biscuit, nutty notes, and a hint of honey on the nose and palate. Great structure with mouthwatering freshness making it a sparking wine that will age beautifully over the next decade and beyond, and a terrific choice to enjoy this holiday season with a wide range of dishes from rich creamy chowder or pasta, lobster with butter, or creamy cheeses. 13th Street Winery’s Premier Cuvée 2013 is a spectacular example of the fine sparkling wine their winemaker produces each and every year. Enjoy 2019-2025. Tasted November 2019. 92+ points. Matt Steeves – http://www.quercusvino.ca
