Palliser Estate The Griffin Methode Traditionnelle 2021 750ml

5 Stars - Sammy Wilkinson

95 Points - Cameron Douglas MS

This elegant wine is made in the traditional method from Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, and aged on yeast lees for over three years giving it a beautiful yeasty complexity.

Tasting Note:

Pale lemon, with a fine, persistent bead. The complex and intensely fresh nose offers aromas of freshly baked sourdough, nectarine flesh, crisp apple, Mirabelle plum, lemon tart and a whiff of strawberry shortcake. A gorgeous creamy mousse delivers an explosion of crisp apple and berry flavours as well as a stylish umami character. A bed of elegant tannins and lip smacking acidity provide balance and refinement to offset the sheer opulence before a long, toasty, savoury finish. A refined 'vintage' style of sparkling wine aimed at both the table and the collector’s cellar, The Griffin 2021 is a serious wine for frivolous occasions.

Food Pairing :

The umami (salty, savoury) character of The Griffin calls out for fresh kingfish and tuna sashimi served with wasabi, soy and fresh ginger, but it will be equally at home with anything from the ocean.

Enjoy on a special occasion between now and 2036.

Alc: 12.5%
