Racy, creamy, precise.
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 are Seven Stars Club exclusives.
The 2019 Polaris, a blanc de blanc, is made entirely from Chardonnay (sourced from the Hidden Terrace Vineyard in Oliver and the estate vineyard in Naramata) was left en tirage for 21 months to add complexity.
Pale and brilliant with a fine strings of bubbles, it features restrained notes of toasted brioche, yellow apples, lemon and hazelnuts. It's a pristine wine, dry and focused with a creamy texture, fine bead and a long, racy finish. A classic blanc de blanc with notable precision.
