2008 Drake Estate Vineyard Blanc de Blanc Sparkling Wine

This sparkling wine exhibits a great combination of finesse and complexity as it opens up with a mild bread dough bouquet, with hints of mineral, Meyer lemon and toasted almonds. These delicate aromas are attributed to the 4+ years of tirage in our cool ageing rooms. Your palate is greeted by brisk, lively flavors of toasted nuts, citrus, green apples and savory mineral. The texture is rich and honeyed, yet sleek and focused. A very linear wine with focused acidity and layered complexity. A wonderful accompaniment to fresh oysters, seafood crudo or sushi. A wine that can be enjoyed now through 2017.
