Darling Cellars Old Bush Vines Cap Classique Brut 2018

This complex MCC portrays something significant of the Darling area and shows clean and fresh fruit with hints of lime, lemon and ripe red apples together with toastiness and biscuity flavors. An elegant richness with creamy brioche is displayed. The influence of extended lees contact improves the mouthfeel that results in a long, crisp finish.

Enjoy with fresh oysters, pan-seared tuna or well-matured cheeses.
