If you are looking to impress your guests with fizz over the festive season and save some cash too, then look no further. This bone-dry bubbly is fresh and pure and expresses great finesse of lime and apple fruit mingled with subtle yeasty notes. The 12 months on its lees with a small proportion of the wine also aged in oak adds complexity and texture.

A rich nose that smells like a caramelised apple tart with toasted edges. This is light and creamy with lemon, lime and green apple flavours at the fore though as this moves along the palate the it tastes a little unbalanced with wood spice from barrel ageing appearing to overpower the fruit, throwing the overall juiciness aside. May be a bad sample.
