Dating back to 1867, Ravine lies in the heart of the St David’s Bench sub-appellation. The 13.8ha farm’s vineyards sit on a mix of soils and subsoils, shaped by the Niagara river and periods of glaciation – thicker clay for Merlot, sandy and free-draining soils for Cabernet, and exposed hillside slopes for Chardonnay. Vintage Brut 2011 was matured 12 months in stainless steel and oak, then 120 months on lees. Andy Howard MW: Complex, with reductive notes adding interest. Citrus acidity and lemon sherbet to finish. Refreshing and very distinctive. Christine Allen: Golden Delicious apple, preserved lemon, fresh ginger, cream. Fresh, lively, complex, concentrated palate. Good length, finesse on the finish. Very classy. Eugenio Egorov: Golden apple, lime peel, lemongrass, marzipan, bitter almond and sourdough bread. A fine mousse and bright acidity.
