With its pale straw hue and delicate, yet persistent mousse, this sparkling wine is truly exceptional from the very first glance. On the nose it tantalises with aromas of Asian pear, white peach and finger lime with an undercurrent of macadamia butter and hints of apple blossom. The palate reveals waves of yuzu, bergamot and white peach floating on pistachio nougat with whispers of pastry and allspice. Characters burst with radiance integrate seamlessly. There’s tightly wound acidity and a surprising level of brightness and vibrancy. Autolytic notes from the wine’s extended age are smooth and subtle, gingernutty. Overall, there is a sense of plenty, embraced with mesmerising restraint. Completeness and harmony.
