Reviews
Dave Brooks, Halliday Wine Companion 2024
NV sparkling from 83/17% chardonnay/pinot noir from several Tasmanian growing areas (45/35/20% Tasman Peninsula/Coal River Valley/ Huon Valley); fermented in seasoned French oak, 46 months on lees. Light straw with an energetic bead and characters of green apple and citrus fruits along with creamy, biscuity tones and hints of white flowers, fresh brioche, grilled almonds, apple pastries and soft spice. Bright with a biscuity edge, a light gingerbread note and a creamy lemon curd note on the sustained finish.
