Sommelier's Tasting Profile

• Colour: Bright, pale straw with a delicate green hue.
• Aroma: An intensely aromatic and sophisticated nose. Expect complex layers of white fruit (white peach, pear), bright citrus peel, and fragrant white blossoms. Extended aeration reveals elegant nuances of patisserie, light brioche, and a touch of saline minerality.
• Taste: The texture is luxurious-silky and mouth-coating-yet the wine maintains remarkable tension and freshness. The palate delivers concentrated tropical and citrus flavours, leading to a long, persistent, and zesty finish. A true testament to expert blending.

Serving Suggestions

Best served lightly chilled (10-12°C). Consider pairing this wine with elevated seafood dishes.

• Food Pairings: Coquilles St. Jacques with Black Pudding and Apple, Roast Chicken with Tarragon and Cream, Fresh Crab Salad, Lobster Thermidor.
• Ageing Potential: Exceptional longevity; 10-15 years easily.
