Diamond Heart Waihopai Cuvée Méthode Traditionnelle 2018, Marlborough

Diamond Heart Waihopai Cuvée Méthode Traditionnelle

Lemon yellow hues with a hint of new gold and very shiny appearance lead to a bouquet of white and yellow peaches, lemon and white flowers then a line of minerality and white spice. The autolysis delivers and seam of oat biscuit and brioche with a mild intensity. A delicious wine on the palate with a generous layer of citrus then a mix of stone fruits and apple. The lees layer folds in to add complexity and texture adding to a lengthy finish. Balanced and well made with best drinking from day of purchase through 2029.
