Seaview – Pinot Noir/Chardonnay Brut – Traditional Method (1999)

Nose – Hints of multi grain toast with a lemon or lime butter with the ever tiniest whiff of nutmeg and cinnamon.

Palate – explosion of little bubbles, nice sour apple with citrusy flavours and the yeasty notes that one would expect from a “methode traditionelle”, slight nuttiness ending with a wonderfully refreshing acidic crispness – there are also hints of under ripe sultana’s throughout the palate, not overpowering and really quite refreshing, this might not to be everyone’s taste, but I loved it!.

I was quite surprised by the quality of this wine coming out of Seaview.
