Avondale Armilla Blanc De Blanc Methode Cap Classique Brut

Zero Dosage represents Methode Cap Classique in its purest form and allows the grape, site and vintage to shine. Bright yellow with green hue the nose invites with a vibrant bouquet of peach, almonds and exotic spice. The palate shows stone fruits, hints of brioche and lingering mousse.

Opening the bottle and pouring the first glass, one cannot miss the defining lime hue adding a zesty appeal to this lemony-coloured wine. As it engulfs the glass, delicate strings of bubbled beads trail to the surface, persistent and beautiful to look at. The zesty lime colour is repeated in a citrus-rich perfume of lemon verbena, lemon basil, lemongrass and the sap of spring buds. Parallel to this, the wine shares a generous bouquet of ripe quince, greengage plum, kiwi and thyme with vivid coolness reminiscent of wet river stones. Upon taste, a creamy viscosity steers the wine to the back of the palate. Here it explodes with tantalizing freshness as the mousse fills your mouth before settling on the sides of your palate with a savoury intensity.
