Cipes Blanc de Blanc is one of our most highly regarded wines. Previous vintages have been awarded platinum medals and international trophies, and the 2012 vintage promises to be no different!
A dazzling and complex expression of 100% organic Chardonnay grapes. Cipes Blanc de Blanc displays notes of lemon, key lime, brioche and hazelnut with creamy, fine bubbles and rich, toasty character. Zippy acidity and seashell minerality refresh the palate, leaving your mouth watering for the next sip. Seriously elegant.

Tasting Notes
"I love the sharp focus and the stony, salty, mineral notes. Electric on the palate, this sparkler is built for the ages with a foundation of Okanagan acidity that defines the north Okanagan as the true cool climate of Canada. Already six years in the bottle, you can feel the creamy textures and toasted lees notes that permeate its refined mousse, yet it has an electricity that sets it apart from most of its peers... This is real wine." –Anthony Gismondi, gismondionwine.com
