Description

"Light to medium straw with a light green edge. A very fine and persistent bead. Lifted nuances of honey, fresh brioche seamlessly graced by grapefruit pith and oyster shell and hints of gunflint. An intriguingly complex palate with flavours reminiscent of honey cake, lemon meringue and sauteed mushroom. This wine has great minerality, viscosity and maturity of character. The elegant and seamless structure is carried by a natural acidity that has allowed the wine to mature to such complexity and yet retain a vibrancy of fruit. The very low dosage sits beautifully with the acidity and fine tannin from the initial inclusion of oak." - Notes from Arras

"Pale straw in the glass with the finest of beads and aromas of white peach, apple, citrus and pear fruits with hints of soft spice, freshly baked brioche and apple turnover, freshly picked mushrooms, meadow clover, oyster shell brine and stone. Dry and long with light shortbread notes, a touch of whey and a high-tensile, gloriously saline and sapid acid line." - 96 Points, Dave Brookes, Halliday Wine Companion

"Nutty, meringue, nougat and lightly toasted bread aromas, very complex and the palate is full and rich with its silky texture a feature. Full and very long in the mouth; an outstanding sparkling wine and a particularly generous vintage for this wine, the finish dry and long and resonant." - 96 Points & Sparkling of the Year, Huon Hooke, The Real Review
