Classic, complex, elegant
Township 7 was one of the first BC wineries to make a traditional method sparkling wine, in 1999. After some sporadic years Seven Stars was reborn in 2015 under the guidance of winemaker and sparkling wine expert Mary McDermott.
Seven Stars is now its own brand and has five sparkling wines in the portfolio with plans to increase the offering to seven (stands to reason) in coming years; all but one, Rigel, are Seven Stars Club exclusives.
Sirius i made exclusively from Pinot Noir 41% and Chardonnay 59% from Township 7's Langley vineyard, planted two decades ago. Sirius is also the estate's shining star bubbly and is, "Much more traditional style as opposed to some of the others we have," according to McDermott.
The 2017 is golden shade with a fine bead. Notes of apple brioche and peach stone, baker's yeast and honey, which translate to a beautifully woven and creamy palate with yellow apple and lemon flavours. Expect lovely acidity, which is balanced, not distracting and it delivers elegance and classic Champagne character in each frothy mouthful.
