Vinification 2006 was an abundant vintage with a long warm ideal growing season. Acid levels were slightly higher than previous years so look for these wines to pair very well with food.
|
Winemaking Produced in the Traditional French Method, primary cool fermentation with secondary bottle fermentation is completed to dryness. The wine was allowed to develop en tirage for three years creating added complexity and depth of character.
|
Aroma / Bouquet / Nose This wine offers a delicate toast, honeydew melon and fresh orchard fruit bouquet. Lively, crisp and clean on the palate, with toasty oak leading to creamy orchard fruit and citrus flavours. Firm ripe pears with a citrus zest offer a racy finish. A lot of depth and complexity.
|
Food and Wine Pairing Try this wine with fresh oysters, smoked salmon, shellfish or simply enjoy on its own. Serve chilled.
