"This is crafted entirely from Chenin Blanc (drawn from Voyager Estate’s Weightmans Block 1). This patch of Chenin was selected due to its early ripening characteristics, which result in full flavour development at low sugar levels and with excellent natural acidity.
Hand-harvested, the fruit was gently whole-bunch pressed and settled overnight before fermentation in stainless steel tanks. Made using the traditional Champagne method, following a short maturation in tank the wine was bottled in June. It remained on lees until February 2022 when it was disgorged with a light dosage."

Winemaker's notes
"Aromas of sliced pears, apple skins and sea shells. Salted nuts, praline and biscuits, too. Tasty and fresh with a medium body and biscuity, dry finish. Drink now. Crown cap."
