Mike Bennie - Halliday's Wine Companion

Disgorged Nov ’23. This wine spends six years on lees and holds six grams dosage. A richer, toastier expression that holds all its elements in harmony and with complexity. Scents of brioche, lemon curd, sugared almonds, green apple and candied orange peel. The palate is generous, soft and struck with vibrant bubbles, a little minerally/saline amongst green apple, honey toast, more lemon curd and a tickle of piquant ginger. A briny line of acidity keeps things fresh and elevated. Delightful drinking here with a myriad of detail.
