Expressive, weighty, peachy.
Township 7's recent portfolio expansion of traditional method sparklers has solidified their standing as one of Canada's top in that genre.
The Vega is made entirely of estate grow Viognier, from T7's Fool's Gold Vineyard in Oliver.
The grapes were picked with high natural acidity and left “en tirage†for 12 months to ensure the that the aromatic character of the variety was maintained and that a small amount of autolytic character was present. After riddling the wine was disgorged and a proprietary dosage was added for varietal character and aroma.
Warm peach brioche, lime and honey roasted nut aromas lead to a weighty palate with good fruit expression. Honey and peach atop citrus flavours are revealed. A nice fizzy addition, but lacking the precision and finessef their Polaris and Equinox.
