Tasting notes
Aromas of grapefruit, Honeycrisp apple, and lemon balm are complemented by subtle floral and spice notes. The palate is fresh and refined, with flavours of citrus, crisp orchard fruit, and freshly baked croissant. A fine, persistent mousse and bright acidity carry through to a long, complex finish.
Food pairing
Seared scallops with pea puree, burrata salad, oysters, fresh popped popcorn
Winemaker notes
Hand-crafted from carefully selected fruit, this sparkling wine features a small portion of barrel-aged base wine for added complexity. After tirage, the bottles rest on lees for two years before disgorging, creating a refined sparkling wine with depth, texture, and elegance.
