Winemaker’s Notes

Light yellow gold in colour with a fine persistent bead. Aromas of white peach, lemon citrus and crisp green apple. Notes of baked bread and ginger spice on the nose with a subtle nutty character. On the palate a crisp acidity is balanced with creamy textures held up by a concentrated long finish. Extra Brut in style, this very dry Methode Traditionelle is best enjoyed as an aperitif or to accompany an Entree course.

Recent Reviews

“Rich golden colour. Noticeable development here, rich aromas of buttered toast lead to a dry palate with lots of power, tight, focused acidity, long and savoury, mid-weight heritage apple flavours. A restrained and austere style with lots of complexity and depth, this has power and intensity which keeps coming back on the long spicy finish of ginger, licorice and cherry. Impressive, dry and serious stuff” 96/100 Stephen Wong - The Real Review

“Gorgeously complex and enticing, the bouquet shows golden apple, lemon zest, savoury pastry and white floral aromas, leading to a wonderfully weighted palate offering creamy texture and bright acidity. Splendidly proportioned and beautifully flowing to a persistent, satisfying finish” 95/100 Sam Kim - Wine Orbit
