AboutZanatta Estate Winery
The Zanatta family bought a dairy farm near Duncan in 1958, laying the foundations for their Glenora winery in the Cowichan Valley. From 1981 to 1986, Dennis Zanatta made an acre available to the provincial Duncan Project, also known as the Becker Experiment, to test grapes for Vancouver Island. Cayuga, Ortega and Auxerrois were among the varieties that succeeded.
The family winery uses only fruit from its Glenora estate and makes traditional-method sparkling wine alongside its still wines.
Zanatta NV Glenora Fantasia Brut
Canadian Sparkling
$36.99
Green apple leads the bouquet, framed by a stream of fine, persistent bubbles and a clean, brisk palate. Extended lees ageing brings subtle breadth and a lightly savoury dimension while the fruit remains fresh and focused. Distinctive and polished, this traditional-method sparkling wine is a natural aperitif and an excellent partner for oysters, smoked salmon, fried chicken or creamy cheeses.
