WineScores' Review

Pristine, lovely, classic.
Located on the upper Golden Mile Bench, Culmina was established by the Triggs family (of Jackson-Triggs fame) in 2007 and was sold in 2019 to Arterra Wines Canada.
A first for the winery, this traditionally made bubble is comprised of early harvested Merlot and Cabernet Franc that saw minimal skin contact and the second fermentation was done in bottle.
Expect a pale rose gold bubbly with bready/brioche notes underscored by wild berries and grapefruit, peaches and wildflower honey. The palate is moussy with bold red apple flavours woven with peach, berries, honey and floral tones. Lovely structure, good length and a pristine character overall.

WineDiva.ca was launched prior to WineScores, in February 2004. WineDiva is the alter ego of Daenna Van Mulligen. She wears a cork tiara and is proof that a girl can have her w(h)ine and drink it too! WineDiva.ca is a tongue-in-cheek approach to a very serious passion for all things wine. WineDiva’s goal is to make wine fun, subtly educational & deviously inspirational. Vintage reciting wine snobs need not apply. WineDiva is painting the wine world pink and drinking it all in, and her glass is always (at least) half-full.

WineScores is the more serious follow up to WineDiva.ca. WineScores was born from the demand to see wine writer Daenna Van Mulligen provide scores on her wine reviews. These are numerical scores based on a 100 point scale – an internationally recognized form of rating wines. These numbers provide a snapshot for consumers on how the wine reviewer views the overall quality of the wine. For more information on scoring wine, go to “about”.
