Whitehaven 'Samantha' Cuvée Methode Traditionnelle 2018, Marlborough
From a blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir this wine showcases finesse, charm and a youthful vibrant bouquet of pear and lemon, white peach and fine leesy autolysis. It is also floral and with a fine wet river-stone minerality - there’s a complexity to be discovered as the wine warms in glass. Dry, crisp and youthful on the palate with flavours that reflect the nose plus a white strawberry and crisp apple note. Acidity and autolysis along with a crunchy explosive mousse carry all the flavours through to a lengthy finish. Balanced, youthful and well made. Best drinking from today and through 2025+
