Merchant's description
A bouquet of apple and lemon with fresh bready notes derived from two years' ageing on lees. From the Marlborough region of New Zealand. A fresh combination of Chardonnay led citrus and pear fruits underpinned by savoury tones from the Pinot Noir component and characters reminiscent of grilled bread and brioche. Alcohol by volume: 12.5% ABV.
