Top Notes For
Melanie Taylor

A blend including Geisenheim, Vidal and Ortega. Extra dry with fruity flavours of pear and green apple. Bubbles are very delicate and disappeared quickly. Lovely pale straw colour in the glass.

From the vineyard: the generous 2017 growing season provided low disease pressure, superb aromatic intensity and fruit concentration. Each variety making up this blend was handpicked and fermented separately in stainless steel. A base wine blend was created and transferred to pressure tank for secondary fermentation via the Charmat Method, providing a delicate and persistent bubble. Given the desired aromatic style, lees contact time was kept short to preserve freshness and purity of primary fruit flavor.
