While Chardonnay can achieve captivating still wines on the Niagara Peninsula, its sparklers are swiftly rising in popularity as well. This Blanc de Blancs from Flat Rock Cellars on the Twenty Mile Bench demonstrates why. Sealed by crown cap, the wine ages on its lees for over five years, finding a chalky, pithy texture in the image of Champagne. The younger sibling to Flat Rock's tête-de-cuvée" "Crowned," the "Riddled" bottling is more clean cut and fragrant, singing of lemon blossom and citrus pith.
