Wine Enthusiast
An alluring whiff of fern accompanies notions of ripe, red apple on the nose, while a touch of white pepper adds spice. The palate shows a very fine mousse that brings crisp red-apple freshness to the fore. This wine still seems young and taut, brimming with freshness in front of a rather reticent backdrop. Give this wine some bottle age and its apple splendor will develop. The finish is clean and lip-smacking. (AK)

41% Pinot Noir, 30% Pinot Meunier, 29% Chardonnay. Pure and crystalline fruit and great yeasty and brioche structure. Zesty with a concentrated depth and zippy acidity.

K&L Notes
Winery Notes: "Our traditional blend Cavendish is a rich golden colour with exceptionally fine bubbles. The nose is expressive with hints of red fruits. The Pinot dominance brings depth and complexity to the palate with a long-lasting finish, whilst the Chardonnay adds finesse and freshness."
