Judging Results
Medal / AwardBronze
Judge 1riper fruits, some oak possibly, complexity appears to come from base wine. quite complex, quite fuller bodied
Judge 2slight leesy edge, creamy mouthfeel, fine bead. some sulphide.
Judge 3Skins of yellow plums and hints of alka seltzer - citric peel finish with aggressive mousse
Associate JudgeSlightly smoky biscuity autolysis notes, fruit on the shy side. Bit of a disconnect from the palate to the nose, much more presence in the mouth, autolysis character really comes through (longer on lees?), varietal identity seems a bit lost, possibly on the neutral side.

Winemaking NoteA blend of multiple vintages, all of which spent extended time on lees to build texture, complexity and go some way towards emulating some of the characteristics of in-bottle tirage. The blend was assembled in October 2021 prior to undergoing secondary tank (charmat) fermentation.
