Bright lemon citrus, honeydew melon, rosewater, and almond praline drive the palate. Persistent, balanced acidity and granitic minerality and mouth filling mousse that leaves with an impression of peach fuzz, spring flowers, and souk spice.

90 points, Silver, #11 of 61 NV Sparkling whites from Vic, Top Rank – The Real Review
“There’s a lovely creamy mousse and persistent bead on pouring and the colour is an enticing salmon pink. Complex aromas of strawberry, brioche, cherry and nuts. Mouth-filling and creamy, with a red fruited drive and a fine line of acidity delivering length and cut.” Aaron Brasher, 11 May 2024.
