Whitehaven Samantha Cuvee Methode Traditionnelle 2018, Marlborough

Only 1800 bottes of this wine were made - so an honor to taste and write about this expression once again. Aromas fresh yellow apples and sweet lemon, a soft lees autolysis and youthful energy. Moments of white blossoms and wet river stone add depth and complexity. On the palate - a dry wine with a firm mousse, high acidity and definitive palate impact showcasing the flavours of lemon and apple, white rose and citrus pith then a return to a soft leesy autolysis weaving through the palate. Balanced, fresh, crisp and ready to enjoy. I feel this will benefit from cellaring giving it time to develop more flavour and texture combinations - so best drinking likely from late 2022 through 2030.
