Mimi - Methode Traditionnelle
Tasting Note
A Pinot Noir dominant blend, this sparkling wine consists
of 96% Hawkes Bay grapes. Exhibiting classic bottle
fermented Methode characters but with a sugar level of
21g/L, Mimi will have wide appeal as she offers a
sweeter, softer palate. Elegant with lovely harmony, she
is delicate, very fresh and lively with crisp citrus and
sweet apple flavours.
A perfect accompaniment to long hot summer days, good
friends and during celebrations. Best served well chilled
with seafood or hors d'oeuvres.

Reviews
The nose is nicely fragrant and ripe, showing golden apple, citrus and subtle yeasty characters. It's rounded and smooth on the palate with subtle sweetness, and balanced acidity providing a crisp dry finish. An easy-drinking style with appealing flavours. Sam Kim.
