100% Chardonnay from the Bizot Vineyard, 10 months in old oak. Dropping yellow Nectarine, Citrus and Quince - the latter coming in strong, elevating the wine to something of definite interest.
The palate refined and composed, a generous mousse about a taut line of acidity. Elegant and generous length to it. One to savour. 94
It's 100% Sparkling Grillo from Sicily. Unsure what that should be like from a varietal perspective, yet it offers a generous serve of Stonefruit with a suggestion of almond paste imbued across the palate.
Quince, stonefruit, custard apple in the mix too. Soft aromatics. 
The 2017 tirage by numbers: Pinot Noir (82%) and Chardonnay (18%), from 2017 (81%) and older reserve wines (19%), so MV or non-vintage wine by technical definition. Here's the 2016 by comparison.
Baked Quince, brioche, subtle spiced hints, of ginger and cinnamon. Latterly toasty, suggesting autolysis derived. Complex, is where I'm heading. 
Party fizz made up of 60% Chardonnay – 30% Pinot Bianco – 10% Muller Thurgau.
Reserva Cava (meaning ageing for a minimum of 15 months on lees) and Brut (maximum 12g/l residual). Unsure of specific varieties, typically though made from Chardonnay, Macabeo, Paralleda, Xarello - all listed for indexing purposes).
Brioche hints with red apple and macerated strawberry. Subtle stonefruit adds to the profile. 
Biscuit notes, citrus, a touch of pepper perhaps. Citrus, more by way of a lemony tang, green apple acidity, tickle of mineral. Quite assertive across the palate, reasonable generosity of intent and persistent flavour here. 89
Bakers amongst you would immediately recognise the almost damp, heady, just baked bread aroma that leads here. Hints of nut, showing a touch biscuity.
A limited release wine, single vineyard, from a specified block, bottled in clear glass - aiming to mirror some of the premier brands from that appellation in France's North East. 
Darker salmon hued sparkler here, from Wills Domain in Margaret River. Somewhat unusually made from 100% Merlot.
An 8yo Tassie sparkler. Vanilla notes waft gently from this one, soft and inviting. 
Pours a delightful golden hue, offers bready brioche hints, sweeter stonefruit accents - reminds of an apricot Danish, or such.
