“An early bottling in a traditional ‘nouveau’ style. It is terrific to see so clearly, the flavours of two of our oldest and most favourite vineyards without the overlay of extended oak ageing and complex winemaking. We like to enjoy it at ‘cellar temp’ – about 12C shows off the juiciness of this wine perfectly.” Winemaker: Andrew Keenleyside
Heady perfume of wild raspberries, crunchy red cherries, crushed rose petals and fresh spices. The palate is densely juicy and framed with gentle stem tannins. Bright, easy and flowing with stony mineral finish.
