Winemaker's Notes
"61% Chardonnay/39% Pinot Noir. Light yeasty aromas, good fruit on the nose, and rich, creamy complexity on the palate. Fine mousse gives freshness and finesse." Technical Notes
"Both varietals are hand-picked: Chardonnay at 18-19.5 B for fruit and elegance. Pinot Noir at 18.5-20 B for complexity and length of flavour. Whole bunch pressing ensures fractional recovery. After settling of juice the two varieties are fermented separately. They are then crossblended along with reserve wine if necessary, bottled and left for 15-18 months yeast contact time before disgorgement. Total acid 5.3 g/L; pH 3.25; Residual Sugar 8.5 g/L"" 12% alc. | |
