Joie Farm Quotodien Brut 2022

JoieFarm Quotidien Brut is a sparkling wine from the Okanagan Valley in British Columbia, Canada. The name "Quotidien," meaning "daily ration," reflects the winery's inspiration to create an accessible, everyday sparkling wine.

Blend Composition:

• Chardonnay: 48%

• Riesling: 39%

• Viognier: 13%

Vinification:

Each varietal is harvested and pressed separately, with a 48-hour settling period in tanks before racking off heavy lees. The Chardonnay undergoes fermentation in both neutral oak and stainless steel, while the Riesling and Viognier are fermented entirely in stainless steel. Different commercial yeasts are selected to enhance the specific aromatics of each varietal. Post-fermentation, the wines age on fine lees for four months before blending and carbonation.

Tasting Notes:

• Appearance: Bright and clear with fine bubbles.

• Aroma: Inviting notes of orchard fruits and blossoms.

• Palate: Bright and invigorating acidity with flavors of orchard fruits, leading to a quenching citrus-tinged finish.

Serving Suggestions:

• Temperature: Serve well-chilled at 6-8 °C (43-46 °F).

• Food Pairings: Complements a variety of dishes, including seafood, light salads, and soft cheese.

JoieFarm's Quotidien Brut is designed for everyday enjoyment, offering straightforward refreshment with its bright acidity and fruit-forward profile. It's an excellent choice for casual gatherings or as an aperitif.
