Huon Hooke - The Real Review

Light-mid straw yellow hue; the bouquet is meringue, red fruits/strawberry, very pinoty, but also clean, fresh, ripe and inviting. In the mouth it’s rich and ample, with generous flavour, round shape and lovely balance, the finish soft and appetising, more-ish and long. Smart pinot driven Champagne.

Very complex nose of candied fruits, apricot tart and vanilla sugar. Mouth-filling richness, the fruit aromas completely filling out the expansive body. The tangerine and nectarine fruit just keep on coming at you, but the balance is spot-on so this never feels like too much. Beautiful integration of fruit, creaminess and acidity.

Lots of saffron and dried pear on the nose with some cooked pear. Full-bodied with layers of fruit and creaminess in the mouth. Firm and bright. Pinot noir and chardonnay.

Peter Moser - Falstaff

Light straw yellow, silver reflections, fine, vital mousse. White blossom, fresh light tropical fruit, ripe greengage, peach, a hint of lime; a lively bouquet. Juicy, good complexity, pleasing juicy fruit expression, fine acidity, well-balanced, a whisper of blossom honey and oranges on the finish, good length. A versatile food wine.

Huon Hooke - The Real Review

Brassy, light yellow colour. Very complex, mellow, aged bouquet, with lots of cracked yeast and bready aldehydes. Icing sugar and meringue, too. Soft, fluffy texture, rounded and yet fresh, with beautifully balanced acidity, moderately complex and gentle, very pinoty and long. Mild level of dosage sweetness is pleasing.
