Wine Critic Reviews

Falstaff (91): Delicate pink colour. Elegant, multi-layered nose with notes of red fruits, apple, bread crust, nuances of warm, sweet spices and citrus. Also elegant on the palate with a fine mousse, medium body and notes of apple, summer flowers and almond cookies. Good length.

Wine Enthusiast (90): This opens with aromas of red berry, spring flower and a whiff bread dough. On the tangy, lightly sparkling palate, fresh acidity brightens Rennet apple, pomegranate and pink grapefruit alongside a soft, refined perlage. It closes on a mineral note.

Wine Enthusiast (93): Made with Chardonnay and Pinot Nero, this offers delicate scents of wildflowers, orchard fruit and a whiff of baking spice. Racy, linear and refreshing, the crisp dry palate delivers Rennet apple, nectarine and a hint of ginger, while a graphite note adds depth. It's elegant, with small, continuous bubbles.
