Description

Chenin driven Cremant de Loire blend. Green-tinged, pale lemon yellow in color with fresh gooseberry and cantaloup on the nose. The palate shows finesse and intensity, with a fine, perfectly integrated mousse of lime, pear drop and delicate vanilla notes. Zesty and fresh with a harmonious finish.
Whole bunch pressed Chenin Blanc & Chardonnay producing 450 liters per ton and the Cabernet Franc producing 150 liters per ton. Fermented over two weeks and blended. The second fermentation took place 7 months after blending and was aged for 18 months on the lees before disgorgement.

Winemaker: Morne Vrey
