blackcurrant and cassis fruit and some savoury pencil shaving notes

Lovely sweet-floral fruits on the nose

Pinot Meunier and Chardonnay all at play here - this is a lovely off-kilter sweet style of fizz with a healthy whack of residual sugar balanced by plentiful acidity

Cornas 2018, Mark Haisma Fortified blackcurrant and cassis fruit andMark Haisma is a long term friend of Charlie's, and thus a friend of the shop, and we're delighted to have got hold of some library releases of his wines! He's best known, having worked at Yarra Yering for a decade, for his beautifully pure Burgundies, but he also makes wines in Rhone. This is drinking beautifully full and voluptuous but high toned and really pretty. Top wine and a proper fine wine bargain.
