In the glass

Medium-bodiedHigh acidityDryLong finish

Aroma: wild raspberry, honeyed redcurrant

Palate: sherbet, raspberry, citrus

A delicate cherry blossom hue with fruit-driven purity and an abundance of fine bubbles. Wild raspberry and honeyed redcurrant on the nose, a spring-fresh sherbet palate, and a creamy, long finish.

What it pairs with

  • Smoked salmon
    Named by the estate; raspberry fruit and acidity handle cure and smoke.
  • Lobster salad
    A producer suggestion, the creamy finish flattering sweet shellfish.
  • Eton mess
    The estate pairs it with summer berries; the wine is dry enough to frame rather than sweeten.
