W5 Marlborough Méthode Traditionnelle 2014

Description

• Baked pastry
• Citrus
• Walnut
• Floral notes

"Combining elegance and complexity, this gorgeous méthode traditionnelle shows ripe stone fruit, lemon peel, apple and floral characters with yeasty complexity on the nose. The palate is concentrated and flavoursome, while remaining refined and structured with excellent mid palate weight and rich texture, leading to a persistent expansive finish. Wonderfully expressed and highly enjoyable" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Mar 2019

An elegant hand crafted, bottle aged and fermented Marlborough Méthod Traditionelle with aromas of baked pastry and layers of citrus fruit. The palate has a subtle citrus threat with walnut, biscuit and pastry characters and a hint of stone fruit.  Complex with focused acidity and a dry finish.

Fruit for this wine was sourced from the well-drained stone and sand alluvium soils of Rapaura Road.

A blend of 52 per cent clone 95 chardonnay, 43 per cent clone 5 pinot Noir and 5 per cent Pinot Meunier grown on spur pruneed and sylvos trained 20 year old vines.

Food Pairing: Perfect for a celebratory occasion.   Drink as an aperitif or match with freshly shucked oysters.
