About the Wine
Marlborough’s cool climate gives an elegant, finely structured, high acid wine which shows the richness of a Pinot Noir dominant blend. Traditional method winemaking and 36 months’ aging on lees give a fine bead, creamy mousse, and a distinctive nutty, brioche bouquet, and harmonious and lingering palate.
Although this dry, mineral, high acid wine is a classic match for oysters, the creamy texture and complex, toasty bouquet compliment a variety of dishes, such smoked salmon and crème fraiche blinis, or goats cheese choux buns. The breadth on the palate pairs well with stronger flavors such as a hint of Indian spices, or a roast chicken.
Blend: 70% Pinot Noir, 30% Chardonnay
