Bisous Brut NV, Malivoire Wine Company

Description from the Producer

This is a non-vintage wine.  It's made to be as similar from year to year as possible, allowing for different vintages to be included in the disgorgement.  Details and tasting notes here are from the most recent bottling as well as the credentials that this wine continues to earn year after year.

VQA Beamsville Bench

Tasting Notes: Aromas and flavours tell of sliced green apple, tropical tangerine and grapefruit with a toast-and-butter underlay.  A taste is frothy, zesty and mouth-filling, with lingering flavours of lemon, star fruit and brioche.

Food Companions: Chill to near 8° C, pairs well with seafood, cheese and light desserts. Enjoy with Sunday fried chicken, roasted squash with crème fraiche and pumpkin seeds, or buttered popcorn.

Vinification Notes: Composed 85% of chardonnay and 15% pinot noir; Both varieties were grown and hand-harvested from the Moira and Mottiar sites of the Beamsville Bench.

Bisous was vinified in the Traditional Method. The main component wine was from whole-cluster-pressed grapes that had fermented in mature (8 years or older) French oak barrels. This was augmented with the addition of a second base wine, blended and reserved from earlier vintages.

Once bottled, the wine was transferred to our original cellar beneath the Moira Vineyard to undergo secondary fermentation. Disgorgement, in June 2023, followed 3 years on the lees.
