Lovely mousse infused with ripe tree fruit aromas and zesty citrus notes. Mouth-watering, thirst-quenching and lip-smacking delicious! Perfect as an aperitif or as an accompaniment to many dishes, including the most challenging. Superb effort.

Chardonnay food pairings: mildly spiced sea-food dishes, tempura, fried chicken.

Reviews and Ratings

Tania Thomas - CSW, WSET ADV rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

Vinified from 100% Chardonnay grapes with the use of Charmat method and natural yeast to preserve the character of the varietal. Refreshing with vibrant acidity and aromas and flavours of grapefruit, green apples and freshly baked bread. Creamy mouthfeel with fine bubbles and a long, lingering finish. Fantastic value. Great match to slightly spicy dishes.
Elegant cool climate varietal intensity - radiant lime, citrus and white peach, accentuated by a finely bubbled palate with a crisp, refreshing finish.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
