“A very fine mousse of bubbles in the glass, and a pale golden colour. Apple, citrus – lemon peel and bergamot – and pear, with white spring florals that follow through into the palate. Very dry – quite serious, with a tenseness and prickle of those green flavours. Quite complex and develops nicely through the palate – hints of ginger, nougat and breadcrumb emerge. A good persistence to the finish.” David Walker Bell - Wine folio
“An inaugural release of Vilaura, made form 100% clone 95 Chardonnay. Attractive and complex on the nose, striking acidity hits the palate and unveils punchy citrus and peach enriched by at least 36 months lees contact and lingering with brioche and creamy autolysis. 93 points.” Candice Chow - Candice Wine Chat
