Journey's End, Methode Cap Classique Brut Reserve NV, Stellenbosch South Africa

Fresh nose of lemon citrus and green apples wrapped in a toasty veneer, with rich buttery peach and stone fruit hints. Mineral palate with a driving line of acidity that propels you to a super-crisp, refreshing finish. The mid-palate balances bright citrus with nuttiness, a hint of apricot, touches of nougat and fresh baguette.

Generous aromas, with hints of ripe peach and mango, plus roasted nuts and hot buttered toast. There's a savoury richness to the palate and a touch of salinity, alongside lively grapefruit and lemon citrus and a hint of nougat. Fine, persistent bubbles and a fresh, zippy finish.
