Tasting Notes
Nose Aromas of baked apple, arrowroot biscuit, and marzipan and vanilla notes.
Palate Fine, plentiful bubbles frame a full-flavoured palate, quite richly fruited with apple and citrus weight, but well-balanced with the length of acidity and complementary dosage. A lovely aperitif, but able to match some richer food options. adding texture and balance to length of acidity and complementary dosage. A lovely aperitif, but able to match some richer food options.
