Translating Tradition
A Celebration of Clann
Our Blanc de Blanc is a refined and graceful expression of the vineyard’s most cherished value: family. The word Clann, meaning “family” in the Celtic language, graces the front of the label in the ancient Ogham script, symbolizing the deep bonds that unite generations.
Just as family roots run deep, so too does the craftsmanship in each bottle, paying homage to the tradition, unity, and love that Clann represents. This sparkling wine honours the spirit of togetherness, inviting you to celebrate the connections that endure, generation after generation.
Winemaking Notes
In the Cellar
Sourced from the Westpoint Chardonnay vineyard, the 2021 Blanc de Blanc reflects the unique terroir of this renowned site. The vineyard, located in the Okanagan Valley, faced a very hot growing season, with a notable heat dome that accelerated ripening. To preserve the wine’s freshness and acidity, the grapes were harvested early, in the first week of September.
Vinifera:
Crafted exclusively from 100% Chardonnay, this Blanc de Blanc sparkles with the purity and precision of a single-varietal wine, showcasing the finesse and elegance that only this noble grape can offer.
Fermentation:
The malolactic process was employed to soften the wine’s acidity, adding layers of complexity and roundness.
Aging:
The wine was aged on lees for 28 months, contributing to its rich, toasty profile.
Dosage:
A final dosage of 6.5 grams per liter was applied, using Chardonnay to maintain a harmonious balance between brightness and depth.
