Avondale Armilla Blanc De Blanc Methode Cap Classique Brut

A modern fruit forward style of Rose MCC yet true to it’s varietal origin, Pinot Noir. Bursting with aromas of red berries, blood orange, peach and smokey lees. The palate is medium bodied, ample and fleshy, with racy acidy, pretty fruit tones and a youthfully frothy mousse.

Lively, fine mousse. Bright and zesty citrus aromas tinged with brioche nuances. Refreshing flavours of green apple and limestone on the palate. The delightful flavours combine seamlessly with classic richness and finely balanced acidity.

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.
