Winemaking Note	A fruit driven Sparkling, showcasing flavours of citrus, fresh nectarine, white blossoms and lychee, while a component of Pinot Noir, contributes notes of strawberry and a pale rosé blush. Maturation on yeast lees and the addition of an aged reserve wine provides additional textural creaminess. A wine of great structure, elegance, and poise.
Winemaker Note	Paul Gordon
