Review

Tightly wound, bracing Champagne of velocity and intensity. A supersonic pulse of tart, green apple, citrus, faint ginger biscuit in flavours, with a perfume that echoes the same but with more volume. Texture is chalky, bubbles tight and firm, almost aggressive, but doing a good job of refreshment factor. It feels really un-evolved in a sense, but the drinkability remains, and mouth-puckering freshness are the result. This is really good.

Food Pairing

Raw oysters topped with aromatic dressings, opulent dishes of lobster, shellfish like scallops and Moreton Bay bugs, and anything with a small mountain of caviar will all hit the high notes in style

Tasting Profile
nose

Complexity abounds with apple, pear and floral tones, with brioche, chalky minerality and finishing with a gently smoky top note.

palate

It’s crisp but rich and full-bodied, with a long and youthful finish. Joyful artisanal Champagne! Low sweetness, with medium acidity, some fruitiness, low tannins, medium alcohol and no oak.
