Produced from predominantly the 2011 harvest with 31% reserve wines included, Cuvee No. 739 is a blend of 57% Chardonnay, 21% Pinot Noir and 22% Pinot Meunier. It pours with a creamy white mousse and a pale straw pale gold base colour. Very fine and profuse bead. Intense aromas of baked bread, yeast lees and a hint of toast are followed by some citrus and subtle cashew. Rich and toasty the palate features a complex flavour profile of baked bread, roasted almonds, yeast lees, delicate toasted dried honey characters and citrus. Finishes dry and crisp with a lingering cashew nuttiness. Long aftertaste of pear, toasted dried honey, yeast lees and nutty cashew.
Drink over the next 3-4 years.

Other Reviews….
Very fine perfume incorporating warm bread aromas, citrus pith and mixed candied citrus peel, dried apple, wet slate-mineral-like wafts. It’s got velocity in the palate, chalky, edgy, crystalline, more ‘mineral-like’ flavour and feel, set within the frisky tang of fruit and whoosh of firm bubbles. Really easy to drink, has a succulence in all the mix of things. Great.
