Serve Frosty Fizz well chilled on its own, with canapés or with your main course. Because of its hint of sweetness, Frosty Fizz pairs well with gently spiced foods. Enjoy with spring rolls or satay with Thai chili sauce, coconut curry dishes, or smoked salmon. It is also wonderful with hot buttered popcorn, liberally sprinkled with spiced sea salt!

What is methode charmat? In the charmat or "tank method", the base wine undergoes its secondary fermentation in a large tank. This is different than methode traditionelle sparkling wines where secondary fermentation happens in the bottle. The winemaker will chill the tank to stop fermentation and then filter and bottle the wine under pressure to retain the bubbles. Winemakers appreciate the tank method for aromatic grape varieties; as the wine has minimum contact with its lees, the grape's true expression shines through in the wine.

This Charmat method sparkling wine is created with Vidal, Riesling, and 5% Vidal Icewine for sweetness. A truly Canadian sparkling! The palate displays ripe stone fruit flavours of nectarine and apricot. Easy-drinking, and delicious!” Score-91, Leah Spooner
