B.C.\u0027s sparkling wines performed well at 2021 Wine Align National Wine Awards
They don’t make a lot of this wine, but the good news, I guess, is the Alberta, Ontario and Quebec governments continue to block the direct sale of B.C. wine in their province, so that means more for us. However, don’t get too excited. Several local producers are sold out of their top wines and will have nothing to sell until the next vintage, so if you want a particular wine, you best get it ordered.
The B.C. highlights were spread across several producers as more and more wineries are making at least one sparkling wine, if not several. In the rosé zone, Noble Ridge 2017 The Pink One at $45.99 topped all pink entries. Gray Monk 2018 Odyssey Rose Brut is a wine that has over-delivered for several years now, also impressed the judges, and it boasts a relatively modest price for most any sparkling wine these days.
Other top-rated B.C. sparklers include TIME 2018 Brut . With deep roots in the McWatters family, Time Family of Wines, Penticton’s urban winery, has a strong connection to the origins of sparkling wine in B.C. In addition, a new label Red Rooster N/V Brut , announces the facelift orchestrated by winemaker Elaine Vickers and the Peller B.C. team.
