Tasting Notes

A frothy blend of Vidal with a touch of Pinot Noir contributing flavour and the distinctive bright salmon colour. Pixie is barely off-dry, with peach, apricot, and tangerine flavours and lively refreshing acidity throughout the palate.

Serving Suggestions

Pixie is perfect for any occasion jazzed up with a sprinkling of jewel-like pomegranate seeds or a fresh strawberry or raspberry.

Critical Acclaim

“This thrilling little find is off-dry, shines coral in the glass and offers immediate pleasure. From the first whiff of wild strawberry to the bright attack with sheer flavours of berries, lemon-lime and cranberry, this bracing blend of Vidal and Pinot Noir is a winner”  Score: 91 Carolyn Evans-Hammond, Toronto Star, 12/12/2020

“The bottle says Vidal but the colour comes from the 4% Pinot Noir that also makes its way in there. It’s a Charmat sparkling that really is a summer treat: raspberry, cherry, strawberry, rhubarb, lime and floral all show up at some point and it’s also quite chuggable. Pour yourself a glass and enjoy. *** ½ Michael Pinkus, Ontario Wine Review

“Light coral pink, this cheerfully named pink bubbly comes from Rosehall Run, a consistently good producer in Ontario's Prince Edward County. It's just slightly sweeter than dry yet not quite off-dry, with generous, sweet-creamy fruitiness suggesting strawberry jam, peach and tangerine. Lively froth and bright-sour acidity bring it into fine balance. There's a pleasant herbal note, too. Made using the charmat method common to Prosecco.” Beppi Crosariol, The Globe and Mail

“A blend … that shows a vibrant pink colour in the glass with a lovely nose of strawberry, raspberry, citrus and peach. Slightly off-dry on the palate, but finishes relatively dry with a basket of red fruit and citrus flavours all kept lively by freshening acidity.” Rick Vansickle, winesinNiagara.com

“A light, pretty Ontario sparkling wine with notes of field strawberries. Works as an aperitif or companion to steamed lobster. Food pairings: summer salads, hors d'oeuvres.” Natalie MacLean, nataliemaclean.com

“Salmon-pink hued, it envelops the palate with refreshing, flavour-laden mouthfuls of sugared-grilled red grapefruit and tangy red cherry. It’s crisp and refreshing with plenty of pizzazz. Serve on its own to welcome guests or with hors d’oeuvre or lighter-styled mains.” Score 90 Vic Harradine, Winecurrent.ca

“A blend of Vidal and Pinot Noir, this is a softly off-dry wine that is always a good time drinker. Filled with notes of peach, apricots, tangerine, ruby grapefruit, and a warming and inviting feeling from the glass keeping up with the easy drinking and refreshing style of this wine.” Score 88 Renee Sferrazza, @the_winepress

“A fun-filled, off-dry sparkling rose made with Prince Edward County Vidal and Pinot Noir. Flavours of ripe peach and fresh strawberries swirl around dancing bubbles on the palate. A perfect sipper for a sunny day, but would also pair nicely with summer salads or seafood appetizers!” Score 89 Leah Spooner, @the_winepress

“It’s hard to resist affordable, crushable, unpretentious bubbles from Ontario. Pixie is a perfect bottle for hot weather and good company (once we can have people over again). Fruit flavours are wild strawberry, grapefruit, and citrus pith. A bit of sweetness keeps this bright on the palate but still with balanced acidity. Always something to look forward to now that the hot weather is here.” Andre Proulx, andrewinereview.ca
