Pale gold with a delicate bead. Intense aromas of citrus zest, lemon curd and sea spray are overlaid with complex notes of sweet brioche, toast and nougat.

The Wine

Pale, blush pink in colour. Aromatic notes of fresh raspberries and rose petals overlaid with aromas of fresh baked brioche, rose water and a hint of truffles. The refined, elegant structure is in perfect balance with the subtle creamy texture and richness of the mid-palate. Luscious Turkish delight and berry compote, complexed with notes of roasted almond nougat, brioche and shaved truffles. Fine tannins derived from fermentation and maturation in aged oak barrels complement the fine, creamy texture on the mid-palate and natural acidity which extends to a lingering, refreshing finish.

The Wine

Pale gold in colour with a delicate bead and persistent mousse. Intense, complex aromas of preserved lemon, poached pear and oyster shell with underlying nuances of truffle and roasted hazelnuts. The palate is elegant, layered and complex. Chardonnay drives the palate structure providing purity and length with savoury notes of seaspray and candied citrus zest. The Pinot Noir complements the structure of the Chardonnay with mouth-filling texture and opulent flavours of strawberry compote and rosewater. Nearly eight years ageing on lees has given this wine further complexity and added nuances of white nougat, truffle and roasted hazelnuts to create a rich and luxurious wine.
