The wine opens with a pale straw colour, shifting toward a misty green as the chilled wine frosts the glass. The bubbles are lively and refreshing, sharpening lifted notes of acacia and elderflower. Made for pure enjoyment, the fruit aromatics are gentle and clean, showcasing a crunchy Golden Delicious apple, white peach, a hint of lemon shortbread, and a faint suggestion of dried pineapple.
On the palate, citrus and tropical fruit notes make way for a greener edge, with a distinct briny note adding savoury interest to this dry sparkling wine. A fine, prickly effervescence heightens the sense of freshness, drawing out flavours of kiwi and lime, alongside the chalky bitterness of grapefruit pith. This is balanced by fresh pear with a faint biscuit-crumb undertone, lending subtle warmth and roundness without softening the wine’s zesty character.
The acidity is fresh rather than sharp, creating a mouthwatering feel that suits the immediacy of this style. The finish is deliciously dry with orchard fruit lingering lightly on the aftertaste, leaving the palate refreshed and ready for another glass. Elegant in presentation and summery in feel, this wine works effortlessly as an aperitif, for celebratory moments, or at the end of a meal to refresh the palate.
Oysters and bubbly for brunch
As an everyday pairing, oysters will always be a hit, but if you’re in the mood for something a little different, dress a fresh oyster with chilled cucumber water and a pinch of white pepper. The effect is subtle but enriches the wine and amplifies its refreshing tone.
Poached pear with lemon verbena syrup and a fine shortbread crumb
Pears in any form highlight the orchard-fruit core of this sparkling wine. Lemon verbena adds lift while shortbread crumb introduces just enough weight to bring the meal to a satisfying close.
