Drinking Window: 2024 - 2025
A light and lively blanc de blancs Cap Classique with delicate bubbles. Toasty citrus and bright Granny Smith apple notes on the nose. Fresh, crisp palate, with zesty yellow citrus notes plus hints of freshly baked croissant and honey on toast. The finish is bright and lifted, with palate-cleansing acidity. Spends up to 18 months on lees.
