An elegant and charming pink methode traditionelle sparkling wine from Marlborough. Pale peach in colour with a light salmon hue, bubbles are
very fine. The nose is gentle with rich nuances of stonefruit, red berries, underlying yeasty autolysis, and a creamy scent. Full-bodied, the flavours are
rich, peach, nectarine melded with ripe strawberries and rese petals; roasted hazelnuts, pastry flow along with creamy custard to an elegantly bold finish. Mousse is delicate and lush, along with creamy custard, supported by integrated acidity. Ripe fruit and subtle floral details compliment lightly
toasty pastry.
VITICULTURE AND WINE MAKING NOTES
Harvest began early March 3 weeks ahead of our other grapes. This wine is a single vineyard wine from the Southern Valleys in Marlboroughs Wairau Valley. This vineyard offers the flavour profiles of both Chardonnay and Pinat Noir to be displayed in the wine, our aim is for the subtle ripe fruit flavours to shine in this style perfectly complimenting the bubbles! The grapes were very gently handled in the cellar. A warm fermentation in stainless steel tanks, and a few cider french puncheons subtle yeast selection and ageing ’sur lies’ with no SO2 I It has produced an elegant and very balanced wine. Attention to the tiniest details is the key to the quality of this Chardonnay & Pinat Noir blend; grapes carefully tended in the organic certified vineyard, gently pressed, and vinified using a blend of modern technology and traditional methods.
