Description

A light gold colour with a fine persistant mousse. Clean, crisp pear and white peach aromoas are balanced by gentle honey notes. Chardonnay dominance brings finesse, along with crisp fruit freshness. The two Pinot’s add depth and character. A beautifully balanced finish. Will age gracefully over time as the Chardonnay matures. Drink now or age for the next two or three years.
