Printhie Swift Cuvee NV 6 Pack

95 POINTS

Ned Goodwin - Halliday's Wine Companion

From the Bantry Grove vineyard, 1000m above sea-level, this is a blend of 60% chardonnay and 40% pinot noir with a dose of 7g/l, fermented with the traditional method and a dash of older wood. The base is constituted with fruit from '13 having spent 4 years on tirage. The result is filigreed and fresh, with a leesy depth and fine detail across delicate mousse, Granny Smith apple and citrus notes. The mineral quotient drives the finish long and palpably very dry. Exceptional.

Based on the '11 vintage; 5 years on lees; 2nd disgorgement. Cracked wheat and grapefruit, red apple and honey. This is zesty, intense, complex and honeyed at once. It's perhaps a little too grippy on the finish, but there's much to be impressed by here.
