Made in the celebrated Elstree style, extended maturation on yeast lees has provided yeasty, fresh bread aromas which complement the fruity flavours of this elegant sparkling wine. Natural lively acids have mellowed during the maturation process resulting in a balanced, soft and rounded mouth-feel. Disgorged with a very low dosage rate of chardonnay based liqueur, the wine is still very fresh and lively with concentrated lemon and lime flavours

Winemaking
The grapes (50% Pinot Noir & 50% Chardonnay) were hand harvested and whole bunch pressed as a true Cuvée, to a maximum of 500 litres per tonne. The primary ferment was conducted by Prix de Mousse yeast in a 50/50 mix of stainless steel tanks and aged French oak barriques. At the end of the alcoholic fermentation the barrels were inoculated for malo-lactic fermentation. This occurred slowly over the winter and into the beginning of the 1998-1999 summer. Blending from the tanks and barrels was then carried out and the wine was then bottled, where it remained sur lies until being disgorged for the summer of 2002.

Food recommendation
Enjoy with the finest moments in life, a classic apperitif wine and perfect with fresh shucked oysters
