The colour is pale salmon pink, gentle persistent bubbles leading to a fine mousse, light cherry fruit, a touch gamey with a hint of yeasty biscuits. Nicely integrated flavours and long length.

• Feel free to mix Fine Wines with “regular” wines to make up your order of 12 bottles (or more!) in total. However, at least 6 bottles must be Fine Wine products, because Fine Wines require special distribution from our temperature-controlled Fine Wine Centre in London. Original wooden cases not available outside the M25.
