Leesy, floral notes appear on the pour along with a frothy mousse and steady stream of fine-bead bubbles forming in the glass. It’s dazzling on the palate with an explosion of flavours that persist and replay throughout—lemon zest and peach cobbler coalesce on the palate along with racy lime cordial and mineral notes persisting for a minute or more on the aftertaste and… there’s good value here. Pour with firm, pan-seared fish, roast chicken or crown roast of pork. (Vic Harradine)
