Description
My philosophy is vigilant attention and consideration in the vineyard with minimal but concise intervention in cellar, allowing each vintage to express itself from grape to bottle. Whole bunch pressing ensuring quality juice. 3 years yeast contact time before disgorgement Delicate and generous bubbles with crisp aromas of lime blossom, fig and hints of bright mineral flavours.Vibrant and supple upon entry with rounded and expressive flavours of pear and brioche lending to a lingering finish.
