Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
Richness and complexity begin on the nose, with bounding aromas of citrus zest, green apples, macadamia nut, with a hint of brioche. The palate is round and full, revealing poached pear, crisp apple, yuzu, honeydew melon, and lemon sorbet with a toasty finish that lingers on the palate, begging for another sip. This winery exclusive was crafted using méthode traditionnelle and has been aged for three years to perfection yet will enjoy additional evolution in the cellar over the next decade.
Vineyard Notes
2018 had the coolest temperatures we had seen since 2011, allowing an extended hang time for the fruit and longer flavor development. Additionally, replenished reservoirs and healthy vineyards from the abundant rains of the 2017 vintage yielded to a larger than normal crop. These elements translated to the perfect combination of a high-yield and high-quality vintage that winemakers dream about.
Food Pairing Notes
We recommend pairing with raspberry tart or chocolate covered strawberries. Perfect with just a few toasted nuts or goat cheeses, it will also enhance simple to complex meals. Oysters and shellfish dishes work well, and we suggest trying it with Asian cuisine.
