The seventh release of the DAOSA Natural Reserve comes mostly from the 2022 vintage (85%) with the balance from 2021 and 2021. This is an impressive sparkling and much better than those mass produced French Champagnes at the same price point.A blend of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier (57/35/8), striking aromas spill from the glass highlighted by citrus blossom, white field flowers, green olives and mandarin peel. The mouth is awash with green apples, cut pear and white strawberries. A fine minerality runs through the core with the flicker of nougat and raw cashews adding further interest. Cleansing acidity whips through with lemon juice and a sherbety tang with talc feels urging you back for more. Great stuff!
