Big Bang Sparkling Blanc de Noirs, NV – Big Head ($45)

Big Head in St. David’s Bench, Ontario is a family-run business headed by Andrzej Lipinski. They source fruit from the Niagara region, working closely with the growers to ensure quality. The Big Head label is the product of over a decade of experience in the wine industry, and the Lipinskis’ first independent label. The Big Bang Sparkling Blanc de Noirs is their only sparkling, though they have a selection of reds, whites and dessert wines available to order.

Tasting Note by Evan Saviolidis – Score 90

“If you enjoy mature elements in your bubbly, this wine will fall smack-dab in your wheelhouse. Yeast, caramel, bruised apple, honey, dried flowers and caramel flow out of the glass. Crisp with creamy bubbles. Long lasting.”
