4.5/5 STARS - COSMOS - BLANC DE BLANC 

This classically styled Methode Traditionelle, Blanc de Blanc, was made from premium hand-picked Chardonnay fruit from the Bond Block vineyard in Gisborne, NZ. Hand-crafted using traditional Methode Champenoise techniques, the grapes targeted for this wine were harvested at a typical moderate sugar and high acid concentrations. Secondary fermentation in-bottle and a generous 12+ months in tirage has resulted in a complex and elegant wine. Cosmos displays aromatic characters of Brioche, with a clean floral lift that gives way to lemon and grapefruit on the palate. 

 

5/5-STARS - 2022 LONGBUSH WINES RESERVE CHARDONNAY

Richly fruited and beautifully complex, showing golden peach, mango, French vanilla and hazelnut characters with a touch of butterscotch. The palate delivers excellent concentration and plush mouthfeel, wonderfully complemented by creamy texture and mellow acidity, making it highly enjoyable.

 

4.5/5 STARS 2022 LONGBUSH WINES CHARDONNAY

It's fruit forward and fragrant on the nose showing ripe nectarine, lemon peel, fig and subtle nougat notes, leading to a succulent palate delivering supple texture and rounded mouthfeel. Well supported by bright acidity, finishing lingering and refreshing.
