TASTING NOTES
TASTING NOTES
Twelve years on lees has unlocked remarkable depth, developing a refined mousse and a beautifully layered
palate. What begins with vibrant fresh apple evolves into a dance of tart apple, yellow peach, and delicate
toasty complexity, finishing with a whisper of savoury umami.
WINEMAKING
WINE MAKING
Grapes from from our high altitude vineyard on the Whitlands Plateau bring a pure fruit expression and exceptional cool-climate quality. Combined with the complexity produced through the méthode traditionnelle process, creating a beautiful creamy texture, this aged sparkling showcases stunning balance and flavour.
FOOD PAIRING
Food Pairing Notes
Aged cheeses such as Gruyere will echo the wine’s complexities. Toasty notes will sing alongside roasted chicken or turkey. A plate of grilled mushrooms drizzled with truffle oil pairs perfectly with aged sparkling wine.
OTHER NOTES
Other Notes
Cellar Release wines are available in very limited quantities direct from the winery. We carefully age these wines for you, and release them when they're coming into their prime. You can cellar them further if you wish (under the right conditions), but they're ready to enjoy now.
