About the wine

Tasting notes

Pale gold in colour, with elegant aromas of green apple, ripe pear, lemon zest, white peach and toasted almond. The palate is refined and mineral-driven, combining fresh citrus and orchard fruit with hints of brioche, hazelnut and pastry. Fine, persistent bubbles and lively acidity create a precise, elegant structure, finishing long with chalky minerality and a refreshing saline character.

The Grape

Blanc de Blancs

French for “white of whites”, Blanc de Blancs is a sparkling wine made entirely from Chardonnay grapes. Made famous in Champagne, these wines have an incredible purity and linearity about them and express with intense lemon and apple-like fruit flavours, usually with an underlying seam of minerality and precise acidity.
