2019 Empress Sparkling VQA
In 1894, Pelee Island produced one of Canada’s first Méthode Classique or Traditional Method wines, “L’Empereur”. 127 years later, Pelee Island Winery has created “Empress”, a nod by our winemaking team to the past, with a glimpse to the future.
95% Chardonnay and 5% Pinot Noir, 100% South Islands VQA. This small batch offering of 1200 bottles has been bottle fermented for over 9 months. Empress is the embodiment of Pelee Island’s winemaking team’s masterful techniques and commitment to excellence with its fresh and creamy lasting aromas of lemon and gentle flinty notes.
