Pale salmon in colour with the nose showing subtle red berries sitting above a yeasty/toasty base. Great mouthfeel with fresh stone fruit characters, fine tracer bubbles, and balanced acidity.

The Chardonnay component comprises of tank fermented wine from the 2021 vintage which adds freshness and structure. There is also a small amount of 2019 for added complexity.
The 2018 Pinot Noir adds red fruits and spice elements to the overall and also gives this wine its beautiful bronze hue.
Finally the addition of the Vermentino from 2020 adds overall texture and weight to the wine.
