| TASTING NOTE: This attractive pink-hued sparkler, fashioned from 20% hand-harvested Pinot Noir and 80% low yielding Chardonnay, was fermented in the Charmat a.k.a. Cuve Close method. It hustles from the bottle with an energetic mousse and aromas of red berry fruit and spice with hints of brioche. It delivers spirited and lively flavours of citrus and red currant interwoven with sweeter and riper cherry on the lip-smacking aftertaste. Score - 3 1/2 out of 5 Stars (Vic Harradine, winecurrent.com, June 10, 2015) |
