2003 Pas de Deux Pinot Chardonnay Methode Champenoise

The base wines for this Sparkling were fermented separately and aged for 6 months in 300 litre French oak hogsheads before being blended. Good creamy white mousse but relatively short lived. Fine persistent bead with pale gold base wine. Aromas of biscuit and yeast lees followed by some winter strawberry notes. Relatively full bodied palate displaying a creamy texture with flavours of grapefruit, winter strawberry biscuit and lees. Aftertaste of lees and biscuit with a slightly earthy finish.
