Spring is officially here so time to celebrate the sun and get out to the patio, beach, or park. With many locations in Vancouver allowing wine to be enjoyed you may want to consider bringing along a few cans of Seaside Pearl Farmgate Winery, “Daffodils to go” sparkling wine. It is 250ml so not a problem to finish by yourself. This sparkling wine is made with the Charmat method (think Prosecco) so that you can enjoy a sparkling wine soon after the grape harvest. I am not sure which grapes are used in this wine, but guess it is a blend of aromatic white grapes, possibly Petit Milo and Pinot Gris, and a touch of Chardonnay.
My Wine Tasting Notes
Seaside Pearl Farmgate Winery Daffodils to go
Appearance: A clear bright medium-plus lemon colour.
Nose: Medium-intensity aromas of crisp apples, oranges, and peaches. Fresh fruits.
Palate: Dry and round with a thicker mouthfeel. Medium-plus body and flavour intensity. Medium acidity and a creamy bubble. Some viscosity. Apples and peaches on the palate along with a touch of floral. With swirling you also get lime and some tropical fruit flavours. Stoniness toward the finish.
Finish: A medium-plus length finishing with citrus and crisp Granny Smith apples, stoniness and a touch of bitterness.
No decanting as this is a sparkling wine plus in a single-use can.
Rating: – A dry sparkling wine with tasty apple, peaches and floral on the palate, plus crisp apples, oranges, and peach aromas.
