Lovely aromas of crunchy red apples, a burst of minerality followed by buttery brioche. Full-flavoured with a lively and creamy mousse, layers of red berry fruit, dried apricots, wild herbs, white truffle and sea spray on the long finish, which is tinged with crushed almonds. A 56% Pinot Noir blend and 44% Chardonnay with 8 g/L of residual sugar. Aged a minimum of two years on the lees. 11,000 cases of this run were produced.

This wine is pale-pink salmon-hued with aromas of yeasty brioche, fresh raspberry, youthful strawberry, white tea and spiced orange zest on the nose. The midpalate is firm mousse, dried raspberry, orange blossom, gliding into supple orange cream and white grapefruit with a dry finish. Pair with life.

Strawberry with hints of white peach and some bread dough. Perfumed. Hints of cotton candy. Medium body. Fine bubbles. Flavorful finish. Reserved at the end giving it focus. A blend of 56% pinot noir and 44% chardonnay. 2019 base. Three years on yeast. 8.5g/L dosage.

Vivacious and generous, with sleekly layered strawberry and watermelon flavors that reveal hints of ginger and spices. Refreshing finish. Drink now. 11,000 cases made.
