Sipping Fine Wine

Blend of 85% Pinot Noir and 15% Chardonnay, 8 years of lees aging, fermented 47% in Oak, rest steel, with no MLF. Pale lemon color, light creamy mousse, tiny bubbles, with aromas of stone and citrus fruits, underlying toasty notes. On the palate flavors of apple and peach with citrus zest, honeysuckle and chalky nuttiness. Lively acidity with good balance, long finish ending with fruit, biscuit and chalky toasty notes.

2013 vintage. Flighty and exotic. Wouldn’t have it any other way.
