2023 Mariani Muscat Ancestrale Method
This sparkling wine is SO pure and vibrant we couldn’t bring ourselves to add sulphur. 100% organically grown Muscat from Mariani Vineyards presents the most stunning honeysuckle flower nose with a crisp dry palate. At 9.9% alcohol, we can drink this all day long. Cheers!
MARIANI VINEYARDS - We are delighted to work with Lorna Fraser and Phil Mariani to source organically farmed Gamay grapes on the lakeside of Naramata Road. Inspired by their love of Beaujolais, Lorna and Phil decided to plant not one, but TWO, clones of Gamay on their three acre site: clone 787 (a unique varietal for BC) and clone 509 (the more well known varietal here). With two clones being farmed identically on the same site this allows us to play with single clonal expressions for a better understanding of this sometimes overlooked grape. Go. Gamay. Go.
For a second planing, the Mariani’s decided to plant an additional acre comprised of Muscat and Cabernet Franc. With such loving stewardship shown with the Gamay clones, it should be no surprise that these additional varietals are also of exceptional quality.
