Colour Pale straw, excellent persistent fine bead forming a delicate crown.
Nose A fine and elegant bouquet with citrus blossom, lime peel, green apple and aromas of freshly baked croissants.
Palate The palate is elegant and harmonious with complex nutty yeast and delicate fruit flavours. This wine has a rich creamy mouthfeel complimented by complex autolysis characters adding weight and intensity. The palate has wonderfully pure natural acidity with great 'cut'. The finish is crisp, precise and lingering. The reserve wine adds weight and complexity and the 4 years aging on lees provides the overall balance and array of flavours. This wine is wonderfully long and intense, yet retains its delicacy and poise.
