The robe: a fresh golden yellow with jade tints, an elegant stream of bubbles rising to form a rich, lively foam.
The nose develops aromas of lemon and grapefruit, with notes of white peach, apricot and acidulous apple. Lingering notes of vanilla, dried fruit and honey.
The flavour: complex fresh fruit and caramel flavours are the mark of a great wine. A touch of acidity and remarkable length in the mouth make a consistently delightful finish.
