Eleventh overall in the sparkling category. The Fitzpatricks started farming in the Okanagan in 1913 and were the founders of CedarCreek. When they sold the winery to Mission Hill in 2014, they kept their Greta Ranch property, and traditional-method sparkling wine is the flagship of this new label. Their vineyards sit on the western side of Okanagan Lake, where Pinot Noir and Chardonnay are shaded from the fierce afternoon sun by the nearby mountains. The base wine is partially barrel fermented, and after tirage it stays on the lees for about 24 months. It's lean and straightforward but deliciously crisp and balanced in its slender frame. A core of succulent minerality, green apple and tangy lime makes this a mouthwatering fizz.
