Tasting Notes
Colour: Soft, shimmering reflections and a sustained pink hue, this seductive blend has a radiant brilliance.
Nose: A refreshing sensorial expression of citrus peel and red berry jelly. With the exquisite sensation of a rich and complex aromatic generosity of antique roses, cherries and white peaches.
Palate: Harmonious maturing of flavours (mandarine, blood orange and Reinette apple tart). An ample and pure character, in the mouth unveiling a chalky edge and persistent finish of lightly candied citron.
Grape Varieties: 50% Pinot Noir & 50% Chardonnay 50%
Awards: 94pts – James Suckling; 94pts – Wine Spectator; 96pts – Wine Advocate-Parker
