TRIUS |
| Medium straw colour with a faint hint of pink. Intense, complex, slightly spicy, lemon meringue nose with some refined, toasty notes. Dry, medium-full bodied, rich, slightly spicy, lemon meringue flavours with a lingering, very bright, tangy, toasty finish and outstanding effervescence. This 12% alcohol blend of 70% Pinot Noir and 30% Pinot Meunier has only 6 g/L residual sugar. |

| TASTING NOTE: This is so new that McDonald wasn't sure what this will be called when it is finally labeled. It is a blend of 70% Pinot Noir from the Lawrie Vineyard (Four-Mile Creek) and 30% Pinot Meunier. It spent five years on its lees with only a tiny amount of sugar added to the dosage. It has a gorgeous light copper colour and an expressive nose of melba toast, light red fruits, violets, loam, brioche and strawberry cream. It has a lively mousse and an array of complex red fruits with touches of earth and creamy notes that are silky and delicate through the palate. Such a beautiful sparkling wine made in a near bone-dry style. Score - 93 (Rick VanSickle, winesinniagara.com, Sept. 3, 2014) |
