A wonderfully structured and balanced sparkling from Howard Park. I'll have another glass thanks.
Free run Chardonnay and Pinot Noir juice sees aged French oak and stainless steel for fermentation before blending then sits on lees for 18 months.
Golden sunrise rays in appearance, it's yeasty with sourdough, biscuity characters and a moreish cashew nuttiness. A cheeky touch of dried fig adds further pleasure. Lemon zest curls around the mouth with a ping of lemon juice acidity to knock everything in check. Keep that flute topped up - it's a winner.
Drink now.
