In the glass

Medium-bodiedHigh acidityDryLong finish

Aroma: citrus, melon, toast, honey

Palate: fresh orchard fruit, toast

Pale gold with a lovely mousse and a fine stream of bubbles. Citrus and melon fruit with hints of toast and honey, Chardonnay dominance bringing finesse and crisp freshness while the two Pinots add depth and character.

What it pairs with

  • Charcuterie
    Named by the estate; acidity resets the palate between cured slices.
  • Porchetta
    A Tinwood suggestion, the bubbles cutting roast pork fat.
  • Lobster
    Also on the estate's list; Chardonnay finesse suits sweet shellfish.
