About this product
Dry, Medium Bodied style of Sparkling WinePairs well with SeafoodThe colour has a slight tinge of pink from the Pinot Noir portion of the blend. The palate is well structured and elegant, with crisp apple and citrus elements from the fresh acidity of the grapes. This freshness is complexed with the yeasty nuttiness that is derived from 24 months of aging on the yeast lees in the bottle. The dosage sweetness added on disgorging is minimal and balances the finish on the palate perfectly. Together these characteristics produce a wine of great complexity that fill the mouth over the length of the whole palate. The overall richness weight and structure of the wine will see it greatly improve with further careful cellaring over the next 10 years.

89 points THE REAL REVIEW
Light straw yellow hue with a dry-straw bouquet that is simple and precise, while the palate adds attractive nougat and almond meal flavours together with biscuity and peachy notes. The acid is a little hard and there's a neat touch of sweetness on the mid-palate which adds appeal, the acidity cleaning up and drying the finish. (70:30 pinot noir chardonnay, 2 years on lees) 21 DEC 2019.
