Tasting note

No 1 Family Estate is a small, family-owned sparkling wine specialist that crushes around 30 tonnes of grapes annually. Made from 100% Chardonnay grapes with two years bottle age on the yeast lees. Dry, toasty wine in a typical Blanc de Blancs style with attractive yeast autolysis characters and tangy acidity. Restrained and elegant sparkling wine with a silken texture and lengthy finish. Score - 90. (Bob Campbell, MW, bobswinereviews.com, Oct. 2009)

This dry white displays a complex and medium nose featuring floral, fruity, mineral and vegetal aromas. On the palate, its lively acidity and broad texture precede a medium finish.
