Tasting Notes: A perfect balance between ripe, fresh fruit and toasty yet creamy yeast. The wine is held on lees for two years or more allowing the perfect level of maturity.

It displays a fine, consistent bead and firm mousse resulting in a complex character. The palate is smooth and seamless with a wonderful balance of acidity, giving a wine of elegance and style.

“A touch of smoke and shortbread on the nose. On the palate a lovely lightness pervaded by gentle sponge-cake aromas of autolysis, very fine mousse and long finish.” - Anne Krebiehl MW, The Buyer 2018
