100% organic Pinot Noir pressed with no skin contact results in this white wine from black grapes. Only the lightest, finest juice is extracted from each berry without influence of colour or tannin from the skin. Made in the traditional method, bottles were disgorged in small batches beginning in winter 2015.
Stunning notes of marmalade, raspberry, brioche, white almond, ginger and lime.

Tasting Notes
"2008 Blanc de Noir, an organic Pinot Noir wine that channels the creamy and dry elegance of a Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label at half the price. Now that's something to pop a cork for." – Neal McLennan, Western Living
Winemaker Notes
For a sparkling wine aged a long time on the lees such as this, the date of disgorgement is almost as important to know as the vintage, as many changes take place over the course of time post disgorgement. The date of disgorgement is stamped on the back label of each bottle.
Food Pairing Notes
Pair with any seafood, quiche, roast duch, or roast turkey.
