Fruit for The Classic Cuvée is handpicked on the estate before vinification and blending with around 3% reserve wines. Wines are aged for a minimum of 35 months prior to disgorgement.

Tasting note: Vibrant with structured yet ripe acidity, its lees-ageing imparting gentle biscuity notes and adding weight and structure, recalling yellow fruits and quince. Energetic and tense revealing layers of floral and stone fruit aromas and a rich palate with great length.
