Tasting note
Discreet but long-lasting foam presentation. Opens beautifully with air, exuding yeasty notes along with aromas of plum cake and puff pastry with cherries. Plays its strength on the palate with discreet fruitiness, fine mousse, notes of white nougat and hazelnut cake, a mouthfilling texture and wonderfully soft acidity. So close to a champagne!

Grape variety
Zweigelt, Pinot Noir, St. Laurent
