Aroma
Lifted and complex bouquet with exotic aromas of white flowers, lemon essence, lychee and oyster shell.
Palate
Characters of spice, natural yoghurt, lemon meringue, fresh oyster and truffle are expressed throughout the palate. This wine has great elegance of structure with a perfectly balanced dosage, tannin and acidity.Vintage
Winter rainfall was well above average and the continuing, light spring rains maintained a relatively high soil moisture content to support strong vine growth during the growing season.
Food Pairing
Suggestion: Fresh seafood either natural or with a light influence of Asian spices.

Winemaking Notes
Crafted in the traditional sparkling winemaking method, combined with fastidious and modern viticultural techniques. The fruit is hand-picked and gently pressed with only the highest quality juice selected for fermentation. Further complexity and character are built into the wine with 10% fermentation in first use French Oak barriques followed by 100% malolactic fermentation. The blended wine has been matured for seven years in tirage ensuring a depth and complexity consistent with the worlds’ finest cuvées.
The wine has great intensity and vibrancy of character seen only in the world’s best.
