Nose
Bright and vibrant aromas of lemon blossom, oyster shell, baked apple & strawberry tart and lightly toasted nuts.
Palate
Made in the traditional method, this wine has spent over 4 years on lees in bottle prior to disgorgement. This extended contact time allows for more complex characters and textures to evolve – with brioche, curd, oyster shell and flint complementing delicate citrus & berry fruit notes. A beautifully soft and delicate mousse and fine, persistent bead carry the flavours and continually refresh the palate.
Winemaking
The base wine was partially fermented in seasoned French oak barriques and puncheons to help build texture and mouthfeel.
Aging
Ready for immediate drinking and will continue to evolve and drink well over the next 4-5 years.
Appearance
Pale straw colour with green tints, brilliant clarity, ultra-fine and persistent bead.
Food Pairing
Oysters, canapés.
