Muse
Extra Brut Sparkling 2019
In the glass, pale yellow with flecks of green, it opens with a nose layered with nectarine, honeysuckle and jasmine and fresh citrus–reminiscent of bitters. Beneath that, hints of honey and buttered toast. The palate follows with white peach and mandarin skin, lemon pith and a hint of brioche. Tight acidity with a chalky, mineral texture and long finish.
Still remarkably youthful for its age—an intense wine that will continue to evolve in the cellar.

Winemaker Notes
An aperitif style sparkling with four years on lees. This is quite a structural wine, in that the dosage has been kept to a minimum in order to highlight both freshness of aroma and acidity while ensuring a balance of chalky mouthfeel and mid-palate creaminess. In youth, you’ll find the wine surprisingly fresh with alluring subtlety and complexity. However, this wine has been produced with the aim of long-term cellaring and will mature for a very long time, in which it’ll gradually gain more toast and honey flavours while softening on the mid-palate—giving more roundness and generosity.
