Brand New Product in 2024 
Wine Club Release - November 19, 2024
Public Release - November 21, 2024

Welcome to Proyecto Terruño - a unique series of Terravista wines made from our favourite Spanish varieties. In a year with little crop off our BC vineyards, we are showcasing Albariño and Verdejo, exploring nuances in specific vineyard expressions from California and Washington and differing styles. Each bottle reflects resiliency, ingenuity and our love of community. 

TASTING NOTES
This one-of-a-kind Sparkling Albariño is bursting with compelling varietal aromas: bright citrus, mineral and pear. With the perfect amount of bubbles - imagine a refreshing lemon sorbet, kissed with delicate orange blossom and a wash of pink grapefruit on the palate. With its balanced acidity and lower alcohol, it's the perfect choice for any occasion - from holidays to brunch and the slopes. Get ready to discover a new favorite, because this sparkling is as easy-going as it is extraordinary. 

WINEMAKER'S NOTES
The fruit was hand picked at Grand Island, on August 12th and was gently whole cluster pressed and settled and cooled on site then transported up carefully to Terravista. The free run juice was separated into two lots: 40% was fermented in concrete, while the rest was fermented, cool, in a stainless steel tank. In mid-September the base wine underwent secondary fermentation in a Charmat tank and then was aged on lees, with bi-weekly lees stirring, for 4 more weeks before bottling.
