Perseus Sparkling Chardonnay
December 24, 2015 § 3 Comments
Truth be told I am a bubble head (as if you didn’t know that already), and I firmly believe that the world would be a better place if everyone enjoyed a glass of sparkling wine a day.
I was in a bit of a funk the other day and my spirits needed lifting so I endeavoured to find a sparkling wine that would put a smile on and in my mouth and a skip in my step. Enter Perseus Sparkling Chardonnay.
Price ~ $21-$22
Score ~ 8.6/10 Over Delivers
The packaging isn’t all fancy and it comes with a classic beer cap instead of a big cork with a cage around it. Simply pop the cap off and immediately your spirits will lift.
The aromas (scent) is brimming with fresh apples, bartlett pears and hints of citrus. Isn’t this the combination aromatherapy uses to bring one’s energy up… I see a trend here, alas I digress.
The mousse (the head if you are a beer drinker) is made up of thousands of tiny bubbles that dance upon the palate while also making the texture a little softer and creamier. The juicy, citrus flavours come alive and heighten the senses.
As you can tell I truly loved this wine and will be making a regular around the house.
Grapes ~ 100% Chardonnay
Store Section ~ Sparkling Wine
Availability ~ Limited, Private Stores including Everything Wine, Metro Liquor, Spinnakers, Cork & Barrel and Caddy Bay Liquor.
Cheers

Thanks for this. I am a huge bubbly fan as it makes any occasion that much more special
Two other big notes of thanks to you and your interesting blog
I picked up a bottle of the CR Northern Harvest at Cowichan Commons as had given up till I saw your Xmas eve note.
I adore the Simple life Pinot. What an amazing wine for such a simple price š
Only a hobby but if you come over for the Vancouver International Wine Festival look me up as I have developed a wine app for them and would very much appreciate your feedback
Happy holidays and a fabulous 2016!

Greg,
I’m glad you like it and congrats on the app for Wine Fest. My attendance has yet to be determined. I would love to see the app if you can make that happen.
Cheers
