Production

Crafted from a harmonious blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, only the very best fruit is carefully selected and harvested by hand for our flagship wine. Partial fermentation in old Burgundian oak barrels followed by extended bottle ageing for a minimum of three years imparts depth, richness and complexity on this wine.

The vines were able to bask in a long, relatively warm ripening period throughout the summer and autumn months. Picking commenced at the start of October and the fruit benefited from a longer than normal hang time resulting in an excellent quality harvest of perfectly ripe grapes with high sugars and balanced acids.

Tasting notes

Rich, yet pale lemon in colour. Notes of baked pears and citrus fruits are layered with a toasty richness and hint of sweet spice. Delicate bubbles linger on the palate leading to a long, beautifully balanced finish. This wine is drinking well now but will undoubtedly, continue to improve with additional bottle age.
