Delicate yet mouth-filling with a vibrant, lively, creamy palate. Good acidity and depth of fruit. There are classic regional flavours of crisp green apples, lemons and limes with a lovely fine and persistent beading.
REVIEWS:
“A generous style; the richly expressed bouquet shows golden apple, almond, oatmeal and lemon peel characters. The palate is concentrated and expansive with silky texture and elegant complexity, leading to a persistent, flavoursome finish.” – Sam Kim, Wine Orbit
“…fine, persistent bubbles.. crisp ruby grapefruit flavours.. pomegranate, nashi pear and creme brulee characters and the finish steely acid..” – John Lewis, The Newcastle Herald
“…citrus dominant with unripe nectarine and finer flint notes on show. The palate gives meyer lemon with some crunch of green apple before tightly bound white peach and flashes of almond meal give richness and complexity to finish.” – Patrick Eckel, Wine Reviewer
“Clear pale straw with hints of green and a small persistent bead. The nose is soft and complex, with both citrus, yeast lees and a sweet creaminess. The palate is crisp and clean with well-balanced drying acid. Creamy mouthfeel with melon and citrus leading to a very pleasant dry long finish…” – Stephen Read, Wine Matrix
Great value sparkling wine made from Champagne’s three classic grape varieties, grown on our single vineyard at high elevation in the ultra-cool climate of Tumbarumba, Southern NSW.
