No.1 Family Estate Assemblé Methode Traditionelle NV, Marlborough

A bouquet of freshness and balance, a traditional blend where the voices of Chardonnay and Pinots Noir and Meunier capture the fullness and richness of the style. Aromas and flavours of white fleshed orchard fruits and citrus, myriad baled goods and butter croissant come to mind and palate. As the wine touches the palate an flourish of texture and power are locked into the mousse accentuated by acidity. Flavours of citrus and peach, baked goods and mineral begin to return and remain persistent and fresh. Balanced and well made, youthful and lively, a wine that is ready to drink as an aperitif and will pair well with oysters and mussel, seafood and bespoke cheese selections.
