Nose
The finesse of the Chardonnay is combined with the structure and power of the
Pinot Noir. Toasted notes of spices and vanilla reflect the partial vinification in oak
barrels. On opening, the Chardonnay freshness and pear aromas come through.

Palate
The broadness and lemony lightness on entry create a lovely taut, crisp
character, showing us a wine with a lovely verticality. The long finish is underpinned by great complexity and lovely bitters.
