In the glass, the slightly cloudy straw yellow color glows with a silver sheen. On the nose, delicate notes of yeast mingle with aromas of pear, peach and a sweet musky scent. Dry, lively and thirst-quenching, this sparkling wine vibrates to the rhythm of a fine and energetic effervescence. It has a fruity bouquet of apple and lemon, culminating in a long buttery finish.

Description

To your good health, planet earth!

Recycling glass bottles and greenhouse gas emissions while transporting our wines, are constant preoccupations for our winery.

Aluminium is a perfect answer to our environmental and quality requirements. Not only is it infinitely recyclable, it also requires very little energy to produce. Furthermore, the carbon footprint generated by deliveries is greatly reduced as aluminium weighs so little. And most importantly, aluminium maintains the integrity of the wine and its effervescence.

Colfo was the very first canned sparkling wine in Québec and its popularity proved that we are ready to embrace new environmentally friendly alternatives to the traditional glass bottles. Cheers! To your good health and to planet earth’s too!

Tasting & pairings

Ecologically sound, canned wine is also practical and ideal for picnics, to carry along on a walk, to pack with your fishing gear or to bring to a barbecue. Colfo is undoubtably a summer wine, in a perfect individual size (unless you want to share it, of course).

Drinking temperature : 10 °C
Can be stored and kept : up to 6 months from the date of canning

Notes from the winemaker

Our Colfo has never been so delicious.  Following an exceptional growing season and the absence of fall frosts, our grapes were picked with at maturity level never reached before.  The wine shows a lower acidity than its in previous years, and an improved mouth finish.

Grapes are pressed directly as soon as they are picked, and then go through a low temperautre fermentation to preserve a maximum of fruit and crispness.  Our main winemaking challenge was to capture and control the high energy brought by high maturity levels and what that means for the winemaking process.

Following a first alcoholic fermentation, the base wine is mixed with a starter made of base wine and organic beet sugar, and canned on the same day.  The bubbles are formed during the second fermentation in the can.  More fizzy than sparkling, it contains twice as less pressure than our traditional methods.  We do not disgorge the Colfo, as it would be impossible to open the can to extract the lees and then close it again, as we do for sparkling wine in bottles.  Indeed, Col Fondo, which means “with the bottom” in italian,  is a reference to the lees that deposit on the bottom of the bottle (or can, in our specific case) at the end of the second fermentation.  The wine is neither fined nor filtered.
