On the website they tout themselves as “the hidden gem” and if you are a sparkling wine fan that moniker hits the nail right on the head. This “Tradition” blends Pinot Meunier, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay with 4 years on lees, and yet it still retains such a vibrancy on both the nose and palate: bready, biscuit and bubbly – the big B’s of sparkling wine – there’s even hints of mineral, apple and lemon with crisp acidity and a finish that will have you coming back for more just to experience it all again.
