A chardonnay-dominant blend, underpinned by the red fruit characters of Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier
Fragrant, floral notes of elderflower, orange blossom and a hint of spice on the nose lead enticingly to zesty notes of mandarin, pink grapefruit and pear on the palate, creating a juicy, lingering finish.
The toasty notes and richness of this wine make it perfect to match with food including smoked fish, chicken and game dishes.
