DESCRIPTION
This blanc de blanc oozes complexity. Layer upon layer of different flavours and aromatics, from primary fruity aromatics to wonderful secondary biscuity autolytic characters, are quite prominent due to the extended time the wine spends on the lees. The wine has retained a lovely fizz and just enough sweetness to complete the wine and fill the palate.
TASTING NOTE
Shortbread biscuits and golden delicious apple aromas serenade on the nose; ripe yellow plum flavours follow through on the palate layered with notes of honey and toasted brioche. Long bready finish with a creamy mousse and persistent bubble.
