Bottling Notes:
The grapes are picked at optimum fruit ripeness to obtain delicate fruit flavours and particular attention was placed on a good acid/sugar balance of the fruit.
The wine is treated by traditional methods, i.e. no sulphur was added so subtle oxidation occurred (the reverse of methods used for treating our table wines) yet one can still pick out the strong Marlborough fruit characters.
The Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier parcels are kept separate, blending just before tirage.
Grape Type: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier
Type: Sparkling
Tasting Notes:
An elegant palate showing a blend of peach/citrus chardonnay components followed by the light berry fruits of the pinot noir. The mouth filling mousse completes the palate that is full and persistent.
