A Classic Pair

CLASSIC:

A pale, silvery gold with fine rapid mousse.

White and red fruits on the nose with hints of baked apple and brioche.

Very clean and refreshing palate with a full generous mouthfeel, lightly toasted with honey, notes of green apple and distant brioche.

A long, satisfying finish.

We drink the CLASSIC as an aperitif and enjoy it with:

• fine, buttery slices of iberico ham
• rich, smoked fish
• oysters
• ROKA cheese crispies

Susie Barrie and Peter Richards, married Masters of Wine had this to say about our 2015 CLASSIC:

CLASSIC:

This classy, classic blend comes bursting with appley and bready aromas and a gentle hint of wood smoke.

The flavour profile is rich and rewarding, with fresh acidity underscoring a succulent, moreish style.

The ideal aperitif or a fine match for canapés like smoked salmon blinis.

Nicola Arcedeckne-Butler MW and doyenne of Private Cellar tasted the 2015 CLASSIC in late May:

CLASSIC:

Pale gold with a bright autolytic note on the nose, sweet and ripe with hints of cooked apple, and a floral touch behind, along with a smoky / bonfire note which comes out after extensive swirling in the glass. On the palate bright, racy and lemony fresh fruit, verges on austere but swerves back to personable just in time, very pretty and fresh going to a long finish. This will benefit from a few months more bottle age, and tasted later that day showed broader and richer and, left open, it held up incredibly well.
