Precise, elegant, complex
Blue Mountain is a family-owned and operated winery locaed in the sub-GI of Okanagan Falls. They've been grape growers on their stunning estate site overlooking Vaseaux Lake for decades (since '71) and followed up making wine under the Blue Mountain label. Sparkling wine is not the only thing they do, but they are most well-known for it and have set the sparkling bar high in Canada.
This sparkling pink (a blend of Pinot Noir 70% and 30% Chardonnay) was aged on its lees in bottle for 27 months; it was aged an additional year in bottle.
It's a pale peachy-salmon-hued brut delivering aromas of small red berries and red apple skin and bread dough. It has a fine bead and lovely mousse with dry tangy red berry and apple flavours alongside tangerine. Complex, pretty and elegant.

Elegant, juicy, precise.
Matured on its lees in bottle for 36 months before being disgorged August 2016, then aged an additional 12 months before release.
A pale salmon bubbly with notes of red summer berries, rhubarb and vanilla, hints of tangerine peel and peach crumble.
Focused and juicy, the palate an echo of the nose. Vibrant citrus and fruit with a lengthy and precise finish. Stylish and brilliant.

Sparkling wine is not the only thing they do, but they are most well-known for it and have set the sparkling bar high in Canada.
This sparkling pink (a blend of Pinot Noir and 33% Chardonnay) was aged on its lees in bottle for 30 months before being disgorged in August 2019. It was aged an additional year in bottle.
A pale salmon-hued fizz it expresses red berries and tangerine, fine spices, forest floor, earth and faint brioche notes. Extremely precise (a hallmark of Blue Mountain) it has just enough creaminess to dell a razor sharp edge of acidity. Red berries, lemon brioche, tangerine and faint spice flavours linger on a persistent finish.

Pale salmon-pink hue, it has a creamy mousse with bright red fruit, charred orange peel and hints of peach fuzz. It is clean and precise, has attractive tanginess, notable complexity, structure and a fresh and persistent finish.
Impressive, as all Blue Mountain's sparklers are.
