From: Tasmania, Australia
Varietals: 78% Pinot Noir, 22% Chardonnay
Tasting Notes and Critical Acclaim: Aromas of honeysuckle, citrus zest, and fresh strawberries from the Chardonnay and Pinot Noir fruit. The extended time this wine spent on lees contributes to more complex aromas of nougat and roasted nuts. The palate is balanced with delicate red fruit flavors, a fine smooth texture, and refreshing natural acidity.
“Attractive notes of fresh strawberries and raspberries, as well as pie crust and praline. Medium-bodied, vivid and crisp with a chalky, mineral sensation in the middle. Dry and refreshing finish.” — James Suckling, Jan 2024
“A pale, blush pink blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay that spends a minimum of 18 months on tirage. A fragrant and fresh bouquet leads into a strawberry-infused palate that is both well balanced and long. The dosage has been the masterstroke for a wine bred to please.” —James Halliday, Nov 2022
Pairing: You can easily drink this wine at a picnic on a beautiful day with turkey sandwiches, salami, salty nuts, and fresh fruit. Other great pairings include smoked salmon, prawn dumplings, fried chicken, and sushi. If you’re in the mood for a rich and satisfying appetizer, we recommend the following BBC Good Food recipe for Ham Croquetas.
