Blanc de Blancs Sparkling

100% Chardonnay |  Traditional Method | 34 months on lees

Crafted from Chardonnay grown on the cool, north-facing slopes of the Beamsville Bench, this Blanc de Blancs reflects the calcareous soils and precision of our site. Harvested on September 16 and gently pressed, it was wild fermented in stainless steel, neutral barrels, and 500L puncheons, then underwent full malolactic fermentation.

After 8 months on lees, the wine was bottled for secondary fermentation and aged 34 months sur lie. Brut in style (7 g/L RS), with bright acidity and mineral drive (pH 3.15, TA 7.2), this sparkling offers a focused, textural expression of place.

Lemon zest, fresh cream, and green apple lead, with toasted almond and brioche from extended lees aging. The finish is long, linear, and saline.

Current batch: 830 bottles disgorged and released in 2025
Aging potential: 8+ years

Why It’s Sought After

For over 40 years, Peter Gamble has developed Champagne-method sparkling programs in Canada’s leading cool-climate regions—among them Vintage 2000 in the Gaspereau Valley of Nova Scotia; 2010 in East Kelowna Slopes; 2013 in St. Davids Bench and in the Annapolis Valley. Each cuvée is matched to the unique energy of its site.

Dobbin’s sparkling story happened in 2021, a standout vintage for Niagara fine bubbles. The celebratory release reflects the soul of Dobbin—bottled with patience, and released in rhythm with its evolution. 

Since first opening our doors, we've welcomed the dearest guests to Dobbin with a glass of sparkling. It's more than tradition—it’s our way of inviting you to pause, breathe, and feel present. Now, this signature cuvée is available to bring home.
