Deutz Limited Edition Marlborough Prestige Cuvée 2020

Description

Apple, Dry, Pastry

The wine is pale straw colour with a fine, persistent mousse. Toasty, almond and brioche aromas are exhibited on the nose, with underlying notes of spiced apple strudel, red currant and citrus. On the palate generous flavours of ripe citrus and nectarine are balanced by secondary yeast autolysis characters of toasted nuts and rich pastry. The superb texture is creamy, rich and mouth filling, with a broad, savoury intensity. The structure is elegant, layered and complex, with great length.

Food Pairing: The richness and palate weight of this wine makes it supremely versatile, drinking beautifully with canapés and smoked fish, but also a wonderful match for darker and more intense meat dishes such as duck and venison. Rich seafood dishes such as lobster with butter will be an outstanding match for this wine, and it will equally complement even delicate desserts. The savoury flavours in this wine are a heavenly match for the equally umami hard cheeses such as vintage cheddar or parmigiana reggiano.
