A beautifully structured wine. Very fresh, clean in style with a saline like acidity. Citrus tinged fruit with notes of peach, stone fruit and only light brioche. Delicious.
NERD NOTES
Fermented in one third old barrel and two thirds stainless steel solera (each cuvee having its own solera). After elevage the solera and vintage barrels are blended before bottling. The wine is then aged for three years in bottle before disgorging. The "No.29" in the cuvee name refers to the vintage that goes into barrel. SO in this case the majority of the wine is 2019 vintage. Only 1 g/l dosage.
