Tasting notes:
Layers and layers of flavour characterise this classically-styled MCC. The pronounced aromas of lemons, limes, almond blossom and toasted cereals are echoed on the palate where the frothy, persistent bubbles dance on your tongue as the flavours move through more citrus, toasted buttered brioche and a distinctively salty edge, all of it wrapped up in rich butter cream. Vibrant acidity adds zest to each mouthful of rounded fruit and the finish is long and lingering, ending with a final salty, tangy twist.
Vinification:
The grapes were whole bunch pressed. Only free run juice was used and settled for one day at 8°C after which it was inoculated and fermented for approximately two weeks at 14 - 16°C. 100% Malolactic fermentation was done in concrete tanks.
Blend information:
72% Pinot Noir, 28% Chardonnay
