Tasting Notes:
Imagine dipping a freshly baked lemon/herb croissant into a cloud and you have some idea of how this wine tastes!
Nose: Extensive lees aging has brought toasty/biscuity, lemon-curd and crème-fraiche to the fore, however orange-zest, green-apple and light floral aromas do eventually appear.
Palate: The palate echoes the nose with delicious notes of cherry, beetroot, and earthy notes. Made in a style that is slightly more approachable than our single-vineyard Pinots, it still shows incredible depth and complexity.
Finish: A rich, creamy, and round palate with a very fine mousse leads to fresh-baked bread, vanilla-cream, preserved lemon, roasted almond and unicorn-dust. The ripeness and fullness of the palate is cut through with monumental acidity and balance, and the ever-present minerality and flintiness of old vines.
Pairing: Enjoy now or allow it to age gracefully over the next 10+ years. Drink with fresh Malpeque oysters, hazelnut crusted halibut, and soft white cheeses.
