Blend
This rich Blanc de Blancs gets its power and toast from five months of aging in oak barrels. The spice from the oak complements the delicate fruit and bright acidity of the Chardonnay. It’s an elegant wine with a strong personality.

Profile
Aromas of toasted bread and roasted macadamias are complemented by golden apples, bright citrus and hints of peach and baking spice. On the palate, this wine shows a blend of pleasant citrus and oak spice, with a hint of vanilla and toasted marshmallow. The frothy attack leads into a creamy midpalate with a long and smooth finish.
Occasions & Pairings
This wine makes a lovely apertif. pair it with potato chips topped with crème fraiche and a bit of lightly smoked fish such as trout or sturgeon. It would also pair nicely with a classic roast chicken with lemon and herbs.
