Blasted Church OMG Red Wine

The 2025 vintage came with a lot of optimism as our vineyards continued to rebound after the devastating 2024 cold event. The quality across the board is quite high in the 2025 wines. There is a beautiful fruit expression and our hallmark acidity that keeps our wines vibrant and fresh. 2025 marked a return to a normal crop load and full cellars of very high-quality wines.

The 2025 OMG brings together Pinot Noir (45%), Chardonnay (39%), and Gamay Noir (16%) from our estate vineyard on the Skaha Bench. The fruit was all hand harvested, with each block being picked separately as it hit its optimal window for what we were wanting each of the varieties to bring to the finished blend. Once in the winery, the fruit was all whole cluster pressed before settling in tank. After settling, the juice was racked to neutral French oak barrels for fermentation and aging on fine lees for 6 months ahead of preparation for secondary fermentation.

After several blending trials and tastings, the final composition of the base wine was assembled and put to bottle for secondary fermentation. As with any sparkling wine produced at Blasted Church Vineyards, the 2025 OMG was made in the traditional method where the secondary fermentation takes place in bottle. The wine remained on lees for 3 to 6 months before being hand riddled and disgorged.

Colour: Pale gold.

Nose: Lemon, fresh brioche, green apple, raspberry, cranberry, and honey.

Palate: A fresh, balanced attack of Granny Smith apple, red berries, lemon, and lime floods the palate on a wave of delicate, refined bubbles. There is a beautiful rich mouthfeel that develops through the mid-palate and carries the wine into the long finish of citrus and brioche. While the 2025 OMG is a young sparkling wine, it shows great finesse and refinement and captures the essence of the 2025 vintage beautifully.
